Habano Festival 2000 Commemorative Petit corona

[Ken Gargett]

Was just after a small smoke, which i don’t often do, and i think it is a while since I’ve seen these reviewed on the forum, so grabbed one. Have a few left and picked this because the foot fraying. Had quite a spicy note when cold. Also a dense almost minerally note which was a little curious. There was a little reluctance to light but once up and running, grilled nuts and deep chocolatey flavours. Lovely complex flavours here. Like this a lot. Some sweet orange notes and some creamy characters. Showing all the benefits of a little age. Reasonably tight draw, even burn but an extremely slow burn. Moved into waves of creamy coffee. This one was a burnt fingers job. What a great little cigar! 94-95.

Thanks for the review Ken. I have been fascinated by this cigar because of all the glowing reviews it has received. I hope to acquire one someday as I am sure it will only get better with even more age.

When these came out you couldn't move them for love nor money.

They turned out to be absolute crackers.

I've never had the pleasure but like Broozer, I am kicking myself for never had picked them up.

Thanks for the review Ken
