"Enjoyable"
I purchased this one en vidrio (In glass) or humitube. I enjoyed this one. Milder then most ERDMs, but complex. This particular one was aged.

"slow starter, but pretty good"
The first third of this cigar was pretty flat and mediocre to me. I'm glad I didn't crush it because it turned quickly into a fine smoke. I had no construction, draw, or burn issues. It never became as complex as I normally like, but it is a good everyday smoke. I'd bet that this sucker would really benefit from some quality time in the humidor.

"El Rey Corona"
I have loved the Robusto for a long time and gave these a shot. The first one impressed as did the second. A nice, El Rey flavor like the Oscuro Robusto Larga but a bit toned down. No construction problems at all. An outstanding value/everyday smoke at 2.20 a stick. I just think El Rey is on to something and while if I wanted to really impress someone I would offer the Larga - this cigar does the trick for a solid, good cheap smoke

"puke"
This cigar is astoundingly unsavory. Wrapper problems? That's putting it mildly. This stinker cracked and split like an ancient bit of parchment. The taste was something that could not have been an accident. Some sick person worked long and hard to make this thing taste so damn bad.

"Nice corona"
Some cracking in the wrapper, some spice and wood and just a touch of pepper. Medium bodied with a very good burn and draw. A nice corona that tastes good, I prefer the robusto's and the larga but this is a fine short smoke. Wife loves them.

"good"
This smoke is decent, but I wouldn't say it's amazing. Definitely a wrapper construction problem here; it was cracking on me pretty good. Pre-burn aroma is great. Filler is medium-bodied and definitely 100% tastes like a Honduran. Not very complex however. Sort of woody and spicy, kind of peters out a bit 1/2 way down. Aging would help this cigar.
If it cost any more than it did, I would say it is not a good value. But at the low prices these go for, it's worth it.
I'd like to try other sizes. I bet the Robusto tastes better. I hear there is toilet paper on it.

"First Rate Smoke"
Love the berry/woody taste! Reminiscent of a hint of cranberry maybe? Definetely a good, solid 8 if you like that taste. It was not too full-bodied, maybe a mild power.

"El Rey Corona"
The aroma this cigar gave off was very pleasing, and the burn was outstanding. The wrapper had some slight cracking and unraveling issues though. Flavor started rather fruity then kinda confused me with something that tasted like pepper and wood. Would be better with age, no doubt.

"excellent"
I bought these cigars because of the hype and just wanted to check them out for myself. This is a top notch smoke with some the best construction I have ever seen. Excellent draw and perfect blend of Tabacco's. "Im hooked."

"King of the World!"
Got a box from JR on special - prior to these I've had various Robusto's and liked 'em...the Corona is delightful - full, smokey, aromatic with superior construction and draw. Classic El Rey...full but not overpowering with a wonderful flavor that improves with age. Along with the Puros Indios #4 these are my favorite reasonably priced Corona.
