Flor de Cano Petit Corona

[PeeJay]

If you haven't seen one of these they are quite unusual in that they come in a cedar sleeve with the label round that. A nice looking hand rolled Cuban it measures 12.3cm with a ring gauge of 40. Removing the sleeve I found a few spots of greenish bloom on this one that wouldn't rub off, is that mould? As you would expect the wrapper has a delicate scent of cedar which carries on into the cold draw. When I punched this one I was alarmed to notice a slight loosening of the wrapper on the cut edge (brand new and sharp cutter). Unlike my Jamaican this corona lit first time and burned nicely giving off just the right amount of smoke. The taste remained dry; almost tannic, and woody with no hint of pepper. It continued to burn very well until the wrapper started to unravel. I carried on keeping the loose end in place with the tip of my finger but eventually it became so loose that it all came off. I persisted to smoke it naked but it was turning into a really raggedy arsed smoke by now and the binder was starting to go so I bailed out at 30 minutes. The overall impression despite the mishap was that it was unremarkable overall but okay if you wanted something really mild and the taste never developed or changed.

And that's being generous. Handmade, short filler and thankfully deleted in 2009 is about the rest of it I'm afraid.
