Orion21 Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 I smoked both the Robusto and Imperial that I purchased from Correnti while in Toronto at my local B&M on Saturday the 13th. The selling point behind Correnti is that in a land of extreme tobacco taxation Correnti is the only local producer rolling their cigars with Cuban leaf for a reasonable price ($9-$15). If the leaf is Cuban only an expert would know . . . . . . . . . . . My notes on both cigars are as follows: - Cuban? - Bland - Sour - Lots of smoke - White Ash? - Taste of cardboard As you can see I didn't really think that much of the Correnti cigars I sampled. I would happily take a trip up to LCDH Toronto next time vs. smoking more of these. Note: The opinions expressed in this post are mine and mine alone. My review in no way represents the opinion or views of Friendsofhabanos.com or Cigar-Czar. Cheers and Happy Smoking!
Colt45 Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 My review in no way represents the opinion or views of Friendsofhabanos.com or Cigar-Czar. As do all of our reviews. But if a shop has a defamatory axe to grind due to a member review, it would be with Rob, and not us....
Orion21 Posted August 17, 2011 Author Posted August 17, 2011 Covering Rob and crew in case the mentioned manufacturer decides to get snippy. My last review was too scathing, so I toned it down and added the disclaimer
El Presidente Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 Cheers Orion I have only had a few Correnti cigars but I can't say I am rushing to stock up
cigcars Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 Seems that appears to be the general consensus of those who've sampled their smokes. Hmmm Maybe they should add a few multi-country tobaccos to it to even it out with some flavor. I suggest a little Mata Fina Brazilian and raunchy Honduran as an additive...
Squarehead Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 Aaron,send me an e-mail regarding the cigars I wanted to bring you on tuesdays but we couldn't get together due to your workload.How did you enjoy your stay in Toronto?Hopefuuly positive. Hans
tmac77 Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 I have some correnti's sitting around somewhere and can dig them out for anyone that may be willing to give a second opinion. I have a feeling that there will not be a rush of takers on this offer. Tom
