Dutch Cigars Half Coronas - 1 Single

Good value. Even burn and a light flavour. A good 30 minute smoke.

It had a very even burn throughout, nothing really to say bad about it other than the fact it was very light bodied. But then again I like my Cigars strong and full of flavour. I would recommend this to anyone who likes a light smoke but if you are like me and prefer a full bodied Cigar I would choose something else.

Excellent value cigar. A good long consistent smoke, burned evenly from start to finish, most enjoyable. Not as varied or interesting as some of the Cubans, but at a quarter of the price, you can't complain! I'll be buying these again.

Mine was quite dry (not sure if this is normal) so burnt down quite quick compared to others I've had of a similar size but still lasted a good 20-25 minutes. First two draws were quite harsh but then settled to a nice woody, slightly creamy smoke. as it developed it turned a bit spicy and peppery down the nose. Probably a good day time smoke, not the finesse as a Cuban but surprisingly nice and excellent for the price, last inch and a half it got quite soft and gave up on the last inch as it started to fall apart. Worth having a few in.

Yes! This definitely is a cigar to my primitive taste. I'm still new to the world of cigars and my palate isn't too well developed for a complex smoke. Construction is very good, excellent draw, plenty of smoke and salt'n'pepper ash holds very well. I never had to relight it during the entire 25 minutes it took to smoke it to the nub. This had been sitting in my humidor for 10 days, using a Boveda 72% pack. Taste is very mild, creamy to begin with then it develops into something a tad bit spicier, albeit slightly bitter, from the middle onwards. It didn't put me off smoking it, however, but i noticed that i started to salivate more compared to the first half. Left me with a good high, compared to the debilitating one i had upon smoking a Monte #5 (another excellent puff but too advanced for my level).
