Hoyo de Monterrey (Cuba) Hoyo Coronas

Not abusive. No taste,flavour. If you are going to have a cigar, don't you want it to mean something? This one doesn't for me. Middle third was good. First and last, uneventfull. Burn was ok, slight uneven. Overall, no flavour.

I tried a HdM Corona after it had sat in my desktop for a while and it was great. I had a bottle of Spy Valley SB and it really brought out a flower arrangement. I don't know if I have ever had a cigar with a white before and I dug it! .....The cigar and the wine.

The stick was tough to draw at times, but it was very aesthetic (kept the ash, no real veins, etc).

Overall, it was a very pleasant smoke!

This was a very straightforward cigar. The flavor was of mild wood and coffee with a touch of earthiness and it remained consistent the entire time. It had some flavors similar to its larger siblings, (the Churchill and DC), but it was not as refined. At $10 per stick, it's not a tremendous value, especially given I'd prefer a $5 dollar Fonseca over this cigar. Still, I don't regret giving it a try.

Got some Cubans from a friend recently. Tried this one first. Loads of tangy flavor. Almost fruity if that makes sense. No draw or burn problems. Complex flavor without any harshness. Flavor kept changing. Hope this bodes well for future Cuban smokes. Highly recommend.

A nice daily smoke. Fairly plain brown wrapper with minimal veins. Solid construction without any soft spots or voids. Great prelight aroma. East light. Smooth draw. Even burn without the need for relights or corrections. Started with mild spice and progressed immediately into sweet leather and wood. This was joined by floral notes in the last 1/2. All in all, this 45 minute smoke was pleasant, and paired well with HC7 rum. Bought a box.
