This cigar was a first for me in two way. It was the first double maduro and the first square pressed cigar I have had. I bought a 5 pack on a whim when ordering others at Cigar International.

Fidalgo Negro Corona
· Wrapper – Oscuro Maduro
· Filler - Dominican and Nicaraguan
· Ring Size - 44
· Length - 6"

Construction: Square pressed. Dark very oily double maduro. Veiny. Coffee black color.

Prelight: Very nice aroma. Earthy and chocolate smell.

Burn: Lit evenly. Burned a little unevenly. Perhaps it needed some humi time. The ash did not get very long. Perhaps this is a trait of a square press.

Draw: This cigar has a nice easy draw. A nice flavorful mouthful of smoke with each draw.

Smoking notes: Rich and tasty. Smooth. A very nice earthy taste. Long finish. Not the spicy taste I find in a lot of Dominican cigars.

Overall Impression: This was a pretty good cigar. It was a very smooth smoke. Very different type of cigar for me but a nice change from the milder natural wrapper cigars I normally smoke. I hope that some time in the humidor will help the burn even out. Not an everyday cigar but not too bad for a change of pace.

The 5 pack cost $16 at CigarsIntl.com

I will smoke this cigar again.
