I have no idea if I did this correctly or not with regard to photos, but here goes:

 

This box of RG Coronas de Lonsdales has just been stellar.  Perfect burn, draw, and flavor/strength.  Haven't had a dud yet.

1st third - mild/med with notes of toasted tobacco, cedar, and a bit of what I perceive as a chocolate/cocoa note.

2nd third - solid medium with a  more pronounced chocolate note, toast, clove/spice?  Smoke output is copious.  A real hitter.

Final third - the chocolate notes continue, maybe influenced by the BBA stout I've paired it with?  Or the cookie with mini M&M's?  Remains medium and never gets hot or harsh.  Smoke output is beautiful again.

Overall a great cigar that smoked beautifully and required very little maintenance in terms of touch ups, etc.  I want more!

Thanks. Don’t see too many reviews of these. That’s a lovely ashtray too.

Thanks! Ashtray is made by a local woodworking/specialty shop just down the road from me.

Tried one recently and was very impressed. Pretty basic but very tasty. I like RG in general...nice choc, earth woody vibes.
