Review Notes: Earthy? More like dirty. A weird cigar. The pre-light smell and taste was pretty typical Mexican tobacco notes of black dirt and spice; and for the record I enjoy an occasional Mexican smoke although not a usual go-to. I almost tossed this in the first 1/2 an inch due to a sour grassy taste through the nose reminiscent of a pissy diaper (seriously). I hung in there and it settled into a middle of the road smoke that was not bad but not great either. Just an average smoke at best. I got 3 of these at the Vegas Big Smoke and the other two are either going to be gifts to guys that don't know better or fertilizer. I like Teamo maddies and this was not nearly as good for a higher price. Could not recommend this at any price over a buck. I almost forgot that the appearance roll and draw were actually quite good...but not good enough to overcome the taste.

 Review Notes: The corona tastes awful. It burned hot even though I tend to sip at my cigars rather than haul at them. It had a loose dirty grey ash. I couldn't get rid of the dry sticky feeling on my tongue and by the half way mark and my lips felt swollen. The aftertaste is even worse. I don't want to experience that ever again. There are so many cigars that I would rather smoke for the price like a Carlos Torano Nicaraguan Selection corona which has rich coffee and chocolate notes, a nice tight light grey ash, way better construction and burn.

 Review Notes: This thin stick is better then I thought. Like Darbarian said I am one of the ones down on mexican tobac. This preformed well although taste isn't the best, still has that papery taste that I find common in mexican sticks. Good looking stick though I am not sure I would purchase another

 Review Notes: This is a nice cigar at a reasonable price that is from some place other than cuba, Honduras or the DR. So many cigar smokes seem down on mexican cigars for some reason, but this one should help turn the tide. It is a nice looking smoke with good oils in the wrapper and costruction on par with other high end cigars. I found the flavors to be unique and plesant with hints of wood and a mile sweetness. For 3 bucks a stick, this is not a bad cigar to have around.

 Review Notes: Received this one as a gift from a friend in Mexico. Didn't look like much, the construction was average at best and pretty veiny but it lit very easily. A medium body smoke with a taste similar to a R&J Reserva Real. Very consistent burn and finish. Don't know about the price but would recommend from the smoke and taste department.
