Dominican Unbranded Premium Half Corona Cigar - 1 Single

Date Added: Thursday 20 February, 2025 by Mohammed

Very interesting smoke, decided to use this cigar to bridge into the world of proper (heavier ring gauge) cigars from smoking cigarellos.

Bought and kept in humidor for a couple of weeks.

Held ash very well and construction is very good with equally smooth draw with no tightness. I do commend the craftsmanship for such an inexpensive cigar. The ring gauge gives a much more overall balance to this short vitola.

Mouthfeel of smoke throughout describe as velvety and paired beautifully with an iced coffee.

Retrohalation is where the real flavours come out in any cigar and I picked up hint of floral notes (in the final 1/2) with main notes being earthy and peppery.

It doesn't like to be smoked quickly but it can be smoked in much less time than stated on the product listing.

The price is reflective in that I think the wrapper used is not much different to the internals in terms of how it has been processed but at this price point it is a good cigar to have for entry into the world of cigars and to practice the nuances (how much to draw, retrohaling etc) at low cost. Not bad.
