Review Notes:
When you're smoking a Petite Corona, you can't expect it to taste quite as good as it's larger siblings.
With that said, I will tell you that I have also smoked the Rocky Patel Sun Grown corona. The Sun Grown was good, but didn't blow me away. In my opinion, this was the superior of the two smokes.
It had good flavor, burned well, had a nice draw, and a pleasant flavor courtesy of the well-aged tobacco within. The flavor had hints of spice, a little sweet, and a little salt. Finish was a bit short, but overall a solid smoke.
Not the greatest value for $4.99, but you could do worse. Personally, I like Rocky Patel's The Edge Maduro Torpedo the best, though I have a Vintage 1990 Robusto that has yet to be smoked. I'm curious to see if the larger size offers more complex flavors...
Overall, solid, but not earth shattering. It's worth a try, that's for sure.

Review Notes:
A really pretty, well constructed stick. Starts well with a slightly uneven burn. Strong taste but a bit flat with no standout flavor. Good draw. Will probably look elsewhere next time I'm looking for a petit. Expensive for what it delivers.

Review Notes:
Cigar looks great, construction is great and makes your mouth water in anticipation. But, found it to be bland and with no particular taste that I could taste. Rocky Patel Sun Grown petit corona was far better in my opinion. Also, I had earlier in the week had a fuente hemingway short story which I love so you can imagine how disappointed I was with this petit corona. Stick with the RP sun grown petit corona or move on to the hemingway short story.

Review Notes:
Looking for a post-meal smoke with some bite...don't bother looking here. The presentation leads you to believe this cigar is going to taste so good, but it doesn't. The construction, draw and burn were fine, but the flavor was horrendous. Seriously, this tasted like a litter box in your mouth. Nothing about this cigar was remotely impressive. Don't waste your money.

Review Notes:
Box pressed and really even burn. Horrible pre-light smell. hard draw is an understatement. Couldn't get through more than 1/3d of this cigar. Save your money on this stick!
