Agio Half Coronas Cigar - Pack of 5 (Discontinued)

I bought a few packs of these for a quick smoke pottering around the garden. It was a mistake I won't be repeating. The cigars come in fives and as they're machine made and inexpensive I wasn't expecting too much from them. It transpired there wasn't one pack that was consistent with the last and within each pack there wasn't much consistency between cigars either. Smoking these is like choosing from a pick and mix blindfolded. One smoke could be so lose you'll spend ten minutes spitting out bits of leaf and hoping it doesn't disintegrate before you get a couple of puffs then the next could be so light it's like putting a match to some dry paper just to watch the pretty flames. Occasionally you'll hit lucky and pick a good one which will be a nice little smoke but even that will leave you disappointed as by then you'll be used to showing your mates the your trick with the fastest burning cigars in the west. Still, at least they won't have to wait long for your show start as all you have to do is put the blindfold on and pick another!

I love half coronas. These are cheap, nice, and a good 20 ish minutes. For me any more than half hour and it's too much. I also prefer machine rolled for their slightly looser draw and perfect uniformity (different strokes an all that)! Maybe a little mild but easy.

I nice small cigar. After sampling what C.Gars has offer with some other purchases, I decided to go for something different in the rest of the world section; I then stumbled upon these and it caught my curiosity, so I ordered some; it didn't disappoint. The smell and taste reminded me of the cereal 'shredies', which is nice; the smoke out put is great and isn't as pungent as other cigars of similar size; burn time is around ten to fifteen minutes, good for a conventional smoker who does it everyday, it's not so good for a social smoker who has a cigar every so often. The aroma and taste changes throughout the cigar, going from malty to fruity; it's a nice transition and the fruity ness goes well with the nicotine rush that I had toward the end of the cigar. Smoke gets hot at the middle point, but that's the only downside.

All I can say is wow, was surprised. Very creamy and mild, overall I can say it was very pleasant, a nice, easy smooth and relaxing smoke. Will definitely get a few more packets. It didn't even get that warm towards the end. Very impressed with these little smokes, not as complex as a more expensive/bigger cigar, but it's a nice, easy, sunny afternoon smoke, something even your friends can enjoy, and with these you can afford to be generous.

These Half Coronas are a little taste of Heaven. Very mild with a slight sweet taste, very ease to draw on and the smoke is a nice pleasant consistency. These cigars from Agio (Dutch) are the perfect morning smoke when you do not have the time to smoke a larger cigar and your just looking for that 15-20 minute you time.
