We will be reviewing a new cigar blend on smokin Joe's cigar box. In previous posts I introduced you to a new company CREMO cigars. now for the down low on their corona gordo size. Next up is their toro size.
- PRE LIGHT; cigar has a smooth habano wrapper;blemish free there is a good heft to this carona gordo hinting at the full tobaccoco filler of Dominican/Nicaraguan tobacco.the cigar was also firm to the touch.
- FIRST THIRD; on lighting this carona gordo had strong flavors of spice and strong hints of cocoa. the draw was a bit tight and the flavor setlted primarilyaly on the front of the toungue.thsettledeld down after the first inch or so to a nice spice and tobacco flavor. the body is medium and the flavor seltles to a medium with the aforementionedned cocoa giving way to a spice and rich tobacco flavor. I began to notice that this cigar burned slowly and expected a long finish.
- SECOND THIRD-FINISH; the cigar settled nicely into hints of spice and rich tobacco flavor and stayed that way through out the loooong finish of this carona gordo. there were no suprises to the nub and the ash stayed nice and tight to the end.
Over all I liked this blend.It had a long finish and other than the tight draw was a comfortable smoke. Enough flavor and body to make this cigar a good morning or lunch choice.In fairness the tight draw could have been the luck of the draw(pun intended) and should not be taken into serious consideration as this can happen to the best of brands.I think this carona gordo would pare well a haydens bourbon or a good cup of coffee. it has alot to offer the average cigar smoker who preferes the medium body,medium flavor profile.however in the end the question is would I smoke this again and would I give to a friend to smoke.the answer to both questions is yes.
