Following on from VTG yesterday and needing a short smoke I opted for the little brother that I got for Christmas. This little Cuban comes in at 4.5" with a ring gauge of 35. The fill on this corona was very loose and springy and the wrapper really had no discernible scent, not even the cedar lining of the tubo. Once cut the draw was light and easy but once again I couldn't make out any real flavour.
It lit very easily and burned nicely all the way to the end with no need for a relight despite the humidity in my garage being at 91%. The burn line remained clean and sharp and the mid-grey ash dropped at about an inch. The initial taste was light and leathery and the exhaled smoke had a definite dried fruit scent to it.
Into the second third and the taste became creamy with a hint of pepper at the back of the palate.
The final third became more peppery and started to become bitter and with just over an inch to go it started to get warmer than I like so I left it there at 42 minutes.
My initial thought was that this would be a nice reasonably priced stick to pick up if I was out and about but afterwards I noticed a cigarette like aftertaste that has put me right off.
