I received the test cigar today, a beautiful looking Corona Gorda. Where do you want the tasting results posted? I plan on letting it rest a few days anyway before placing it on fire and slowly watching it burn and frequently tasting the smoke. This should be fun, as well as seeing if I have a palate of a Billy Goat or not..................

Well I got too it earlier than I'd planned.

As Tampa has said it was a nice looking Corona Gorda with a flawless Colorado wrapper and unlike the last reviewed Cigar was thankfully free of box press. Upon lighting I was impressed by the draw and the somewhat spicy flavour which gradually faded into a solid tobacco taste. Something about it made me think Bolivar but in all honesty I've no idea what it was. It's been a long time since I smoked a Cigar as small as this so I did feel somewhat underwhelmed. All in all a decent smoke but nothing special...

Wow I got mine today I can't believe it I am so excited I want to leave work right now and fire it up but I will let it rest for at least 3 days if I can help myself...

Mine got here last Friday. It had a long trip. I'm going to let it nap a few more days before I conduct my first blind taste review. Cool man ! :-P

Rob, I have never tasted a cigar quite like this. I am not sure If I liked it or not. I don't believe It is a brand I frequent. One word describes my experience, TOASTY. I am going to say It Is either a Juan Lopez, Seleccion No. 1, or an SLR Serie A.
