Review Notes: Mottled wrapper, but oily with a reddish hue. Nice draw, and the burn required only one touchup. Once it warms up, it's nutty and rich with hints of cinnamon. Medium body, good for almost any time of day. Chewy and satisfying, though I find that these are better fresh. This one had a year of rest in my humi. A great buy.

Review Notes: This is a really big cigar and should be called a double corona. It draws just a tad loosely, but the burn and ash formed are fine. It may seem a bit bold at first but settles into a pleasant smoke with rich woody flavors and a medium spiciness. At under $4, one of the best values around.

Review Notes: Have had a box of these sitting in the humi fro about a year...smoked one today fro the first time in several months...a solid smoke...great looking, excellent construction and a good med to full body flavor at a great price...try it

Review Notes: I tried this one two years ago and was very pleased. I noticed the more recent ratings were through the basement and decided to take another look. I'm quite pleased to say that nothing has changed. Beautiful looking cigar, with a PERFECT BURN, solid flavor, and great finish. It's now a Tinder Box standard and I challenge anyone to find a better value for less than 4 bucks. Highly recommend!$!

Review Notes: Despite the consistently good CA ratings, this is a brand I haven't paid much attention to. When I snagged one of these, I was intrigued but still skeptical. The wrapper was chestnut brown, perfectly uniform in color, with an oily sheen. No soft spots. The first half followed CA's review to the letter. Well balanced flavors, a solid med-full body. Good, but not spectacular. And then somewhere just past the halfway point, it started to change gears. Creamier and more complex with each hit, and distinct flavors started coming at me as fast as I could identify them. I kept hitting it to try to pick out the flavors ("Was that hazelnut or cashew? Cinnamon or nutmeg?"), but it seemed to change slightly every time. At risk of overstating the point, it developed the same quality as the second half of a good Hoyo DC -- at some point, you give up analyzing it and just let it rush over you. The only gripe was that the bunch seemed to burn a little faster than the wrapper, so I had to touch it up a few times. But that was likely my own doing, since I had stored it briefly in a humi that runs a bit soggy. Anyway, I like to think I'm a stingy grader, but this SLR was a seriously memorable stick. Maybe I just got a lucky one? Dunno, but I intend to find out. I need a box of these, stat!
