La Finca Corona Rated Best In Taste-Cigar Mag.

[ky toker]

I've only had a coupld of La Finca's and liked them. A pretty enjoyable smoke at a great price. I'll probably have a box of them as soon as I have more room.

I smoked La Finca coronas exclusively for 3-4 years during the end of "the boom", until that high CA rating quadrupled the price of them briefly.

In the buck or so a stick price range it is very hard to find a more consistant cigar. They are a constantly good cigar. The flavor and constrution quality has remained pretty constant over the years.

I guess I have become a bit more of a cigar snob than I like to think; because I have a hard time reaching for the good cigars in my humidor when I have soo many great ones..

The La Finca was rated number 4 overall ahead of some cigars that coast four times as much.

I have been smoking the La Finca Fuma Largo and Figurados cigars ever since I picked up this very enjoyable hobby and really can't find a better tasting cigar in the mild to medium range at any price, at least the ones I have smoked so far.

I haven't had a La Finca in....oh six or seven years. I guess I didn't like them enoung to continue to buy them after I smoked what I had. But for another reasonably-priced cigar that's available from the same source, I'd recommend Maria Mancini, especially the Magic Mountian...

Looks like lynn has the Finca coronas on sale for 25 .. don't know if they are in stock.

I was going to buy a box of these when JR had the Angel100 promo, but someone on another board specifically warned me off of La Finca. Now I'm a little irked at that guy.

I smoked the one I got as a gift yesterday, and it was a GOOD cigar.. I will be buying a box...

I ordered five boxes of different La Fincas so I could get the Angel 100's. I like all the La Finca cigars that I have except for the Figurados, they are the most expensive and I like them the least. Anyone up for trading some sticks for the Figurados ?

The Angel 100's are great cigars, I know of several people ordering the Fuma Corta at $18.95 per 25 just to get the Angels, that was a great deal.

Let's see now... That would be a Acnif Al corona, wouldn't it?

"Finca" always makes me think of Finca Vigia, Ernest Hemingway's place in Cuba.

La Finca is a pretty decent smoke, though I never understood the CA rating--it's good, but not THAT good.

The CM rating is a little bit suspect since La Finca is distributed by Cigars by Santa Clara, Lew Rothman's (of JR Cigars) company. I really like CM for the articles, but when 98 percent of the cigars rated by this magazine are in the JR stable, ya gotta wonder.

If I had some sticks to trade you Wbill, I would, but my humi is once again at its empty state.. But I just can't seem to slow down my cigar intake

Scott, I have found a way to solve your problem with the empty humidor, just buy four times the amount of cigars you smoke per day. If you smoke five a day than you need to buy twenty sticks a day. In no time at all you will find something good to smoke everytime you open your humi.........It works for me.
