Boli Coronas Extras and Coronas Gigantes

[mhartnett]

In the video review for the Coronas Gigantes, El Pres said the CG is basically the Corona Extra in a larger format. Do others find this to be true? I smoked a CG today, but for both price and time reasons, I'd prefer to purchase the CEs, if they really are that similar. Thoughts?

Well, they're both Bolivars, so I guess they're similar in flavor profile. But I find the CE to be much fuller in body, and they show more earth and pepper in the flavor profile.

I concur. I find the CE fuller as well.

Also agree the CE is fuller & stronger, though the CG is a darn good cigar. Both are staples in my smoking rotation, with multiple cabs of CEs from 02, 06 & 07 and CGs from 97, 03 & 06.

Both outstanding cigars. Both clearly Boli flavor. If I had to choose between them (God forbid), I'd have to go CE. More bang for the buck.And completly satisfying when you don't have time for the churchill.

Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks, everyone.
