This was a beautiful cigar to enjoy on a fine Sunday afternoon. I was gifted this cigar from a very special BOTL, and it was definitely worth the wait. This Corona was from 2001, and as I removed it from it's tube, I wasn't shocked to see the band had yellowed. The sweet smell of aged tobacco was overwhelming, and I couldn't wait to sacrifice it to the god of fire.
I cut the head, took a prelight draw, and to my dismay I found it was a little plugged. No matter, as I didn't want to cut more of this precious tobacco and let it go to waste! I lit her up, and sat back with an ice cold glass of natural apple juice:
This cigar is so smooth, it also feels like you're smoking a pipe. The smoke has no bite to it, but rather complex flavors of caramel, vanilla, and butter come through. About halfway through, I started getting lightheaded, which surprised me! I'm usually a very strong cigar smoker, and not much phases me. I suppose the rumor of the "extra ingredient" in these island treats has to be true! :laugh:
All in all, it was a very enjoyable cigar, and I am sad to report that it was my only one. If you ever have a chance to light one of these guys up on a special day, go for it! Happy Father's Day!
