Moving on to the flavor department, I would call the Habano Corojo Robusto a decent, but not complex cigar. Mild spice is first noticed once the cigar is lit, and it is soon joined by wood and sweetness. The mild spice continues into the second third and picks up in strength. Earth is also present in the second third. The final third offers up more earthy notes plus some nuts.

The Perdomo Habano Corojo Robusto did catch my eye with its appearance, but its flavor did not do much for my palate. I did enjoy the cigar, but it just did not blow me away. Considering the $4.50 price tag, I really cannot complain too much. The cigar does offer quality, and it is a good value. Maybe you will get more out of it than I did. It can be found in packs of five or boxes of 20. Pick one up and see what you think. At its price point, you may find yourself with a new frequent smoke to fill your humidor.

The Perdomo Habano Corojo Robusto earns a rating of 3.25 out of four stars.

Tatuaje La Casita Criolla HCBC Corona Gorda

For the purpose of today’s review, I will be lighting up the HCBC Corona Gorda selection from the La Casita Criolla line. It measures 5 5/8 x 46 and is one of three sizes in the line. The other two are the 5 1/8 x 42 HCB Corona and the 6 ½ x 48 HCBF Short Churchill. The composition of the La Casita Criolla is not exactly varied, as its filler, binder, and wrapper are all made up of 100 percent Connecticut Broadleaf tobacco. Strength-wise, the cigar is considered to be medium-bodied.
