Tierra del Sol Corona

After lighting this cigar up, it was no surprise that it was a little young and in need of…..time. That said it isn’t a bad smoke especially for the money. You normally get what you pay for and this is a pleasant surprise. 6 months from now this will/should/could be a very nice smoke. As always you really never know.

I got a bundle of these at the beginning of the year. When they are fresh they are terrible. I am smoking one with about 6 months no cello and it is rockin' mah world. Nice right in the middle medium bodied/medium flavored smoke. Flavors of baking spice with a short finish. Nice aroma. Flawless burn and draw. Get a 5 pack, take the cellos off and let them sit for a few months and you will be rewarded with a fine budget cigar.

I purchased a bundle of these coronas from cigarbid.com recently and they arrived today. I smoked one immediately and was impressed by its mild flavor, steady burn, and consistency right down to the wrapper (which is amazing to me, considering that I rarely smoke a cigar past the two-thirds mark). My preferred cigar is a full-bodied maduro, so I was even more impressed by the nice flavor this mild cigar offered up. I really enjoyed this inexpensive cigar, especially considering that it didn't spend even a day in the humidor settling in. My advice: live dangerously and give it a try.

Gave this one almost a year in the humi to see if it made a difference and it seemed to even the burn and add a bit of smoothness. That is a long time to hold onto a one dollar cigar though. If you ahve the space to use, then these can be a nice every day cigar to rake leaves or go fishing with.

I smoked one of these a few days after I got them, and it SUCKED. Took the cello off of a few and just let them sit in the humi for about a month, smoked another one, and it was much better. Smoked a third one a few weeks later, better yet. I'm gonna take the cello off the rest of them, let them sit for a few months, and see what happens. I may have just found another $2 winner.

I bought a sampler of 5 of these, I usually smoke a stronger cigar. Punch and Padron are my favorites. However this is an exceptional choice for an everyday cigar. The Taste is mild and good flavors abound. I'm buying more!

I tried the marudo of this brand a while back and did not like it much. I am usually a big marudo fan. This one was better than the marudo. It just seemd to have better everything. Nothing was particularly "great" about it, but still much better. The flavor was still nothing special. The burn was nice and the construction made me think that the make just was not used to working with the previously mentioned marudo leaf. Not bad for a buck.
