Moore & Bode Miami Corona
I have spent many mornings enjoying a Moore & Bode Miami Corona along
with my first cup of espresso. This 6" x 46 ring cigar is physically
closer to a corona gorda in size rather than a corona as implied by its
name. Its construction is impeccable with a slow cool burn and a perfect
draw. The smoke is a dense creamy blend of mocha and caramel which proves
that full flavor can be achieved without any tobacco bite whatsoever. It
offers the smoker a richness in flavor that is seldom accomplished in such
a mild blend. This refined cigar is a tribute to cigar smoking elegance,
and is one of my personal favorite mild cigars. I highly recommend this
as a "must try" smoke.
Padron Anniversary
Imperial
Padron Cigars has introduced a new size to their ultra-premium Anniversary
line called the "Imperial." Measuring 6" x 54 this is a big
box pressed corona gorda which now becomes their widest cigar to date. Originally,
they were only released in Maduro wrapper, but Natural wrapped ones are
expected to be hitting tobacconist's shelves soon. I find it to be a very
smooth smoke that delivers a huge volume of smoke on the palate. As a result
of its larger ring size, its strength is tempered considerably when compared
to the the smaller sizes of the line. Of course, this can be considered
a plus or a minus depending on your personal tastes. Regardless, I find
it to be a very enjoyable smoke, and consider it one that is well worth
sampling!
Punch Rothschilds
Double Maduro
If you don't know about this cigar then I am pleased to have the pleasure
of introducing it to you. The Punch Rothschilds Double Maduro is possibly
the best handmade cigar value on the market. Even with recent boom driven
price increases, this mainstay smoke remains priced economically at roughly
$2.60 each. Although they are not always picture perfect, they have solid
construction and consistently provide a good draw with an even burn. The
best part is that this cigar is chocked full of rich earthy Honduran flavor
with a hint of sweetness in the finish. These are an excellent daily smoke
for the premium cigar smoker who is budget conscious. A great taste at a
great price!
