El Presidente Posted May 16, 2006 Posted May 16, 2006 Who has had one of these Corona Grandes? What are your impressions?
Tampa1257 Posted May 16, 2006 Posted May 16, 2006 » Who has had one of these Corona Grandes? » » What are your impressions? It has been nearly 4-5 years since I smoked the last one. I remember it being sort of "salty" tasting tobacco, medium body, but nice flavors. I would not consider it a mainstream type of cigar for my palate, but very much representative of the La Gloria Cubana marca.
cigarnv Posted May 16, 2006 Posted May 16, 2006 Rob, in a nutshell the Sabrosos is an outstanding cigar. With age I find the Sabrosos exhibit a flavor profile that is floral, woody and has slight hints of pepper. I have always enjoyed this cigar as I find it is unique and hard to compare to others from a flavor perspective. I would buy any I could find... but alas few are to be found these days. If you do come across any please call me at once!!

n-tron Posted May 16, 2006 Posted May 16, 2006 I would agree with most of what's been posted so far ... Sabrosos are unique compared to other cigars I’ve smoked in the LGC line. It’s a bit less complex than either the Medaille D'Or series or the Tainos I’ve smoked. I think Tampa was very perceptive when he mentioned saltiness. I have about half a box left and I can’t see myself buying another. I’ll spend my money on my favorite Medaille D'Or No. 1.

Hey Rob! Where's that review?
habanohal Posted May 22, 2006 Posted May 22, 2006 SInce you brought these up, I had to smoke 1 today, but mine are from 2001. All I can say is, VERYYYYYYY FRUITY. Total citrus with a tiny hint of spice. Need to keep it on the slow side of smokeing for , too fast and it gets hot and can burn your upper lip. ( always hard for me to smoke them slowly)
