Fire Robusto
Another bomb stick. The decent weather continues, 2 cigars in 2 days! I understand that this line is a limited release from Rocky Patel only available to certain vendors, so it was great to get a chance to try one.
Humidor time: This stick has been sitting in my humi for about a month. Prelight: The wrapper looks decent. Prelight draw is easy, no easily identifiable flavors . The band is orange, yellow and red. Burn: This cigar burned ok. It needed slight touchups a couple of times, but no serious issues. Total burn time was about an hour and 10 minutes. Flavor: Flavor was decent, very smooth and creamy with hints of pepper throughout, not what I was expecting based on the name. Summary: I guess with a name like Fire, I was expecting a full-bodied cigar with spice that kicked your teeth in. This was an enjoyable smoke, just not what I anticipated. I'll keep my eye out for more of these. |

Re: Fire Corona
Try the toros, that will take care of any hotness that you might have experienced in the smaller cigar and will give you a fuller flavor with a little more kick. In addition, let them rest for a couple of months before smoking and dry box. This will even out the flavor and take care of a known hard draw problem with these cigars. One good source for these is cheapercigars.com.

Re: Fire Corona
Jeff if this is the one I bombed you with it was the Robusto (5X50). Im glad to see they have mellowed out a bit. The 1st one I had from the batch tasted young and very bitter. Looks like they might be ready to spark up again.
Thanks for the review. |
