Previously had the Petit Panetele (4 x 38), this is exactly the same cigar but in a Half Corona (3 x 42) size.
Box pressed, exceptionally well packed and the same super oily broadleaf wrapper, surprisingly good smoke output considering how well filled this is, also not as tight a draw as I feared.
Nice sharp burn line, absolutely no corrections needed, ash is rock solid...if it wasn't for the wind I suspect it'd hold on for the entire cigar.
Same chocolate, coffee, roasted pecan upfront as the Petit Panetele, also has the same shift to dry cacao and cedar; however, the sweetness is massively ramped up, I honestly thought it was a sweetened cigar on the cold draw alongside some nice baking spices.
Solid medium strength and medium to full body, about the same time to smoke as the Petit Panetele..20/25 minutes or so, another excellent UK winter time cigar.
