Description

A wonderful cuban cigar with older origins, but available since the early 80’s to the general public. The Cohiba Coronas Especiales is a Humidor lovers dream, we at Buycubancigars are not the exception!. The flavor on this Cohiba is good from the buy, but a little aging does some amazing wonders to this one. The appearance on this habano is somehow like a Cohiba Lancero smoke, long and thin, a very nice tainted chocolate appearance about it. Feels a little loose, but in smoking, you find that it isn’t really. Excellent construction on this smoke. With close inspection, it is obvious that this is a hand rolled vitola. While some prefer the "machined" look of perfection, the hand rolled look seems to add a certain amount of authenticity to the habano, a high class feel to it. Very nice and handsome smoke. At the first light this cuban cigar exudes a defined coffee/vanilla flavor to it, rich in nature, and a treat for the tastebuds. The second third on this vitola is a definite reminder that you are smoking a mans’ cigar as it becomes a bit stronger with the cocoa flavor beginning to present itself. The final third lets you know that this is definitely not a beginners cuban cigar. It is too strong for the new habano smoker, but a real treat for the long term cuban cigar aficionado. We have to admit that this corona has a near perfect balance between strength and aromas. Endowed with many similar qualities as the cuban Lanceros, an elegant tweaked cap and a hint of floral flavors, this habano is milder than the gran panetela cuban cigar, hence it is more accessible to the intermediate and beginner habano smoker. The bunch sports a sophisticated mixture of medium tobacco layered with stronger, spicy tobacco. Coffee, vanilla and cocoa hints in the Coronas Especiales mingle with licorice and cedar creating an intriguingly smooth smoke in the mouth. A bit on the pricey side in some places…not at BCC due to our duty free prices, but this is one of those rare occasions when you get what you pay for. Good habano to age for three or four months in your humidor. Once aged, the Cohiba Coronas Especiales really has a high class premium feel to it. Definitely a winning cuban cigar. Standing ovation on this habano! and available at BCC in box of 25 Cohiba Coronas Especiales.
