Arturo Fuente Cuban Corona

My first cigars ever were in Cancun just a month ago. Never even smoked anything in my life before that. I bought all Cuban Montecristo, Romeo & Julieta and Cohiba. I was hooked after that. Cuban's are a lot cheaper in Mexico so after smuggeling in the Cubans and finishing them off in my home land I wanted more but there was no way I was going to be able to afford real Cubans again. Well I did some research and got a box of these. I have to say I really like them and in a lot of ways I like them better than the cubans I smoked. Mainly the construction, it was quite a bit better on these and didn't come undone. Some of the Montecristo's did this. Out of the 3 cubans my fav was an extremely full bodied Romeo Julieta that made me so high my sinuses was flooding mucus so badly I was was a little concerned.....really strange. Anyways, the feel and construction are flawless on these Fuente's. Lots of smoke and great taste. I think I like the taste of the Cohiba and Romeo & Julietas maybe a wee better due to the hint of Coco and sweeter taste. This Fuente is more spicy and leathery and medium to full body. I have a Padron 40th Anni 1926 and Fuente Hemmingway Best Seller coming in this week, so I'm anxious to see how they compare.

I am fairly new to cigar smoking, but overall I liked this cigar. I made the mistake of taking a chewable vitamin C right before I lit it up and that kind of messed up the taste. Also I had to relight it three times

appearance-very nice looking cigar with a well done cap.construction-the draw was a little tight but it was smokable.flavor-pretty one dimentional.nothing real distinctive.value-it was worth what i payed i suppose.i would rather have payed about half of what i did to make it completely worth it.overall-nothing really great about this cigar to mention except for the appearance.it was a great looking cigar.

Flawless construction and burn. Flavor was nothing to rave about, spicey but not enough to make you take notice. There are other smokes out there that match up to the Cuban Corona, but they cost less. Won't rush out to get more of these.

Dry and toothy with a small tear in the wrapper that was obscured by the band. Burn was slow and straight. Woody, mild and polite. A little caramel works its way in around halfway. Short finish. Strictly morning fare, though there are more interesting choices for the role.

Tried this cigar for around 3 bucks, and i loved it. It started off with a strong citrus flavor, that mellowed out into, a light, spicy wood taste. For such a cheap cigar, it was a great buy, and one of my favorites in the price range.

A friend gave me this about 3 years ago. It has sat in the humidor for all that time alone and forgotten. On a particularly nice spring day a week or so ago, I decided to see what this gift had to offer. Although on the mellow side for my tastes, this cigar was really a wonderful surprise. It’s very smooth, a little pepper and creamy. Put those together and you have a super combination. The burn was perfect…never needed a touch-up and the ash was solid white/gray. I have a hard time finding fault the first time in the saddle. This will quickly be replaced in my humi and hopefully will be enjoyed as much as the fist one.

This is an excellent cigar. Great taste and aroma.

I was quite surprised with this cigar. Normally I don't care for Fuentes or Cameroon tobacco, but I did enjoy this smoke. (By the way, the wrapper, which was dark and veiny, did not look Cameroon, but I'll trust the information above). It was medium bodied with flavors of toasty popcorn (?) and wood. The construction was perfect - great draw and a razor sharp burn. In short, pretty good. It’s also nice to finally find a Fuente that I was happy to have smoked!

When the box arrived they were really tight, nad I was not happy, however, six months in the humi and these are top notch. They loosened up and the improvement is truly miraculous. What a great smoke-So buy & store, than enjoy um.

I received a box of these as a gift. At first sight they look kind of weird with the flared foot. UI almost thought they were made by as second level roller. Anyway, after I got over the shapre I cut one and lit up. It lit well and had good white firm ash, the draw took a little work as I had to puff extra hard. It gave good smoke and had a notes of spice and cedar. The taste was consistant from start to finish. It had good construction and I would buy some more maybe not a whole box. Fuente has better sticks on the market(but you can't look a gift horse in the mouth).

Bought this at the overpriced local shop a few months ago. Didn’t notice until I got it home it had a funny flared out foot on it like a warped trumpet. I put the wife to bed and then went out to oversee the sprinklers on the Chicken Hill. It lit fine and burned well but the draw was hard. For such a little dude, I had to dig in my heels to pull the smoke out of it. I got some exercise anyway. Its flavor was pleasant, woody and spice. Didn’t change much, but I was happy with what it presented. Not bad at all, and I wasn’t disappointed that it put me to bed an hour late last night.

Okay, I'm not a big Fuente fan. I admit it. But I know they are consistent and I had an hour drive so I picked up one of these to enjoy as I went on my little trip. (I was then caught in a traffic jam, but that is another story!)

Beautiful presentation - nice medium brown wrapper with a great cap. Easy to cut and to light. Tons of smoke! Solid ash throughout the smoke.

Surprisingly complex as the flavor started out almost mild and as the burn went on it turned spicy and increased in strength.

I was amazed at this beauty and will have to rethink my entire opinion of the Fuentes! Highly recomended!

Smoked this stick this morning with coffee. Very nice cigar with creamy, cocoa flavor. The only negative I can say about it is the VERY tight draw. I really had to work at it to smoke this thing. Overall a good smoke and I would definately try another.

Usually a maduro smoker, but this was a pretty good cameroon wrapped cigar. Creamy, slightly sweet, and several aspects/dimensions of taste. You gotta love a cigar that makes you try to pinpoint what you're smoking w/ each puff. Burned very evenly, ash was not too great though. Would def try again.

Just a plain good cigar. Nothing fancy. Good with coffee in the AM

The cuban belicoso is another hard to get Fuente. When you do get some let them age for a few months. I recently smoked one with a year's age on it. The flavor was balanced with cocoa and spice. Very strong aroma. Don't smoke more than one indoors. The only drawback is the flaky ash.

This is a well made cigar, as all Fuentes are known for it's quality. I don't care too much for Fuente's regular series, as they just lack in flavor!

for the beginner or seasoned Cigar smoker, I find this one to be an excellent choice. For smokers who prefer a milder smoke, this is the one for you. Great value and great consistency.

Purchased this cigar from the gift shop on a Royal Carribean ship. Their selection was limited, but this turned out to be a good smoke. The construction was good and it burned evenly all the way to the band. The draw was smooth and after about a half inch or so, the flavor changed to slightly sweet and somewhat creamy. There were several different tastes, which resulted in a satisfying experience.

A rough, rustic-looking cigar with a veiny wrapper. The draw and burn are fine. It starts off with some rough, dry wood flavors but improves, becoming sweeter and slightly spicy. A mild smoke with a light, refreshing finish.

These are nice sized, good looking cigars. They were somewhat spongy feeling but on smoking did not appear underfilled. Burn and draw were problem free, taste was mild. Held on ash very well, even when smoked in a car. Milder than I like to smoke - they didn't get harsh in the last third.

Keep in mind that i smoked this in Italy overlooking the Amalfi coast from the top of a mountain on my birthday......hmm!!! Good cigar, great draw, and great taste. Way too expensive in Italy but in th U.S. its well worth it. Should have bought the Cohiba though!

Pretty cigar...good price, good Fuente.
nothing too complicated just a smooth, sweet smoke.

This is a nice size smoke ! It last longer than you would think and the flavor is really nice. I've only had one that had a burn problem, but all the rest were perfect. nice spicy finish to this one.

This cigar is a mainstay of the green band Fuente lineup. From its nice cabinet style box to the blemish free wrapper, these cigars attest to the Fuente family's attention to detail. This is a great size too. Light strength and medium flavor make this a great afternoon cigar.

I found the Cuban Corona to be the most consistent of the Fuente green bands. Nice flavor and aroma. Holds a good ash and the price is right.

This was a great value smoke. For what you get, it is tough to beat. It seems a little rough and not real consistent. The burn and draw were what you expect from Arturo Fuente. Overall, a good every day smoke.

Good Cigar. It burned absolutely perfect and held an ash for at least half the length. The draw was nice. It produced lots of smooth sweet smoke. It started out very very chocolatey and then moved into a smooth and spicy finish. I would buy this one again.

Nice flavor- medium - burns evenly looks good- overall a good value.

Solid cigar for the size. A bit simple -- mostly a bit of wood and some mint. Solidly built, but the draw was a bit tight.

Great value. Consistent quality. Starts out sweet and finishes smooth. Always has a little more kick in the last 1/3

Although the taste is somewhat one-dimensional, the Cuban Corona delivers good value for the smoking dollar. As this cigar is on the mild side, it's well suited for a mid-afternoon coffee break.

Looks good, tastes good, if it wasn't rolled tight as a rock it would probably smoke fine. Quit trying after a quarter inch.

a very good experience with a flavor of fruits and spices

The cigar look pretty good and smelled great. The flavor was good but not very complex. Expected of such a small ring gauge. Great cigar for a quick smoke.

A unique shape with the slightly larger foot but very consistent in quality. Starts sweet, then turns into a nice medium smoke. Exactly what you expect from the Fuente's. Great value.

I can't afford any better, and frankly wouldn't want too! This is as good as it gets for the money!

The Fuente Cuban Corona is the hidden jewel of the
Gran Reserva line. It has a beautiful construction, and
a flavor of nuts and cedar that ligers on your palate.

Considering making this an everyday cigar.

Consistently creamy and delicious,
I always consider smoking and AF
Cuban Corona a treat!

This heavenly little Fuente was a true joy to smoke. It was so smooth and creamy that I wanted (though resisted the urge) to inhale it!
