Ok guys, go easy its my first review!
So, the website I bought it from describes the Corona Junior as:
"This cigar is creamy with hints of coffee and some nutty flavour as well. This small havana promises to have a good future. Attractive, good draw,thick smoke with complex flavors for such a small cigar. Purely excellent."
On lighting, it was very harsh...no hint of creamy at all and I interpreted the promised nutty flavour to be just plain bitter!
Few puffs later and I'm thinking I'm not going to finish this!
3/4 of the way through and its started to change. The bitterness subsided and mellow flavours started to develop and a nice lip tingle.
Disappointingly, the wrapper came off with about a 1/4 to go. The burn was uneven all the way and it rippled around the top, maybe a sign of poor construction??? Hell I dont know, I'm new to this!
In conclusion, a cigar of 2 halves. Nice draw, but with uneven burn. Bitter going into mild. No sweetness as others have indicated on cgars reviews. Overall, disappointed with a well known name
I've another Upmann in the box, but a Corona Minor.....hope that's going to turn out better.
Is the deconstruction to do with my cutting? Are longer cigars better because you get more of the good bit? Any thoughts?

!!!! it's a nice little, light bodied, cigar..... great for those times when you don't have time for a bigger cigar but don't want to resort to cheap crap!!!!
