Independencia 1898 Half Corona Cigar - 1 Single

These are very nice in my opinion - great value as under £6 Ive had worse £10/£15 singles Was glad to sample Lasted a good 30 mins + Very enjoyable fairly strong bodied but still fairly smooth great draw - even burn - for price Im impressed Im happy

For under 6 bucks you can not find a better cigar. If you had a bad one thats unfortunate as Ive only had great ones. For the newbies giving a low score a Henry is 7 pounds. No comparison

Well im new to the cigar world and i must say this was a struggle to draw at the start, after half wsy the ash was beutifully formed and the bitterness faded to reveal a slighty nutty with a mild spicy flavour. Not the best i have smoked but certainly not bad value. Average at best.

Impossible to smoke! I have my humidor at 65% and still I couldnt smoke. I cut in half and I still couldnt draw. Waist of money!

Not the greatest tasting of cigars. A little harsh in my opinion. No real depth in flavour but im a newbie to cigars so my opinion isnt very trustworthy. Lasted r0 minutes (smoking slowly) and the first ash didnt drop.until after the 31 minute mark. You can see a photo of the 28 minute ash below: http://imgur.com/gallery/bv825Og 1st third started bitter but mellowed out by the 2nd third. Final third was quite harsh and slightly unpleasant, but for the price you pay its a good size ring gauge and for such a small cigar it packs a punch. The draw did get a bit tighter the further down it got. This i think is important to mention. I have to rate it 4 stars due to the value for money. If a £15 cigar tasted like this i would be giving it a 1 or 2. I prefer them on the milder side because the final third is at my tolerance level but this was too much for me if Im honest. Ill still buy them again though. Just for values sake.
