Another review.....still same problems with camera :rolleyes: . The images are still blurry but hopefully you'll be able to see how beautiful this cigar is. Definatly can't wait for X-Mas, hopefully a new camera.....

I finally pulled the trigger on ordering these babies about 3 weeks ago. I've been eyeing them for quite awhile and now since they are being discontinued...I knew it was now or never(Actually, it would just be more expensive in the future to find a box :laugh: )!!

What a freakin' gorgeous cigar!! Beautiful colorado wrapper and with no visible imperfections. When I first got this out, i'm not going to lie; I was pretty intimitaded looking at this behemoth. I have never had an A before so I hoped I was in for a treat. I clipped the cap and toasted the foot. Wonderful nose to this cigar...a sweet aroma.

The draw was pretty dead on.....not too tight, just a little on the loose side. The Sancho produced volumes of smoke the whole way throughout.

I was immediatly hit with some fantastic earthy notes with some honey in the first couple of inches. This smoke is very medium-bodied and never was over-powering. About half-way through the cigar changed its profile considerably. All of a sudden it turned to sweet spice, tasted some cinnamon in it as well. The burn stayed even untill about a third was left and then it went out :( ! I would imagine this happens sometimes with a cigar of this size?

A quick relight and we were going strong once again! There were new flavors introduced. From the last third untill I finished, it was a strong chocolate and cocoa flavor bomb. I still had the cocoa flavors in my mouth the next day while I was at work.

Overall, what a fantastic cigar!! One of the best I've ever tasted and expereinced. The depth of flavors and the perfect combustion/construction were what makes this cigar stand apart. Took me two hours and 15 minutes to finish; but I can't think of a better cigar to smoke for that long :D ! This will definatly be my "special occasion" cigar. They are not cheap($19), but worth every penny imho. I would give it a 94-95.

Has anyone else tried these? If so, am I the only one sad to see these go?
 
Nice review. I love the double maduros thanks to hojadepuro for introducing those to me. ;) I personally haven't had any others such as the xtra fuerte or the naturals but that does look tasty. Sounds like my kind of cigar. Although the price is the only drawback for me.
 
I love 'em along with all the SP's. I'm seriously bummed that they are dumping almost the entire marca. My favorite Coronas are no more.

Hey Sheriff... you need to arrest someone. I agree. This line has been raped.
 
Nice review, thanks!

There must be a "macro" setting on that camera, that's why everything
behind is in focus.

This might be a problem, or you just have to push this "make me a photo button" a little less hard to let camera adjust focus on cigar itself. There should be some red dot in the middle of LCD screen or there where you put your eye. When lens make "bzz bzz" sound and you'll see focus on a cigar not background, push "make me a photo button" all the way. It should work, and if not, get a new photocamere ;)

Ps. Nice review :thumbs:
