PuriscoTM
Rojo Corona Natural
This is the one with the red band. It,
too, comes in a corona, which is a size I enjoy. I am neither a
good writer nor do I have a palate like many of youse guys(think
it's a black & white accountant thingy), but here goes:
I'm not a maduro smoker, so they sent me the natural. The draw
was a tad firm. Nothing that I couldn't handle, but a little
looser would have been prefered. The construction and look of
this Costa Rican cigar was flawless.
The first thing I noticed, post-lighting, was the incredible
DARK ash. I actually had smoked another cigar before this and,
using the same ashtray, the difference in the ash color was
striking. I've only seen this dark an ash on Habanos.
I really, REALLY concentrated on the flavour. As I said, I'm not
good at this but I think I picked up some almond taste. That's
good, right? I liked it. It was, maybe, medium bodied but I
smoke strong cigars so my "scale " is probably a little skewed
compared to most.
I did like this cigar. It had a unique taste that I did enjoy. I
would buy it again. |
