Matilde Oscura Corona

Written by Jeff Slatton (jefslat) |

moc1 October 29th, 2018

The Oscura Corona has a smooth, dark and toothy wrapper. The bunch is firm. There are coffee aromas coming from the foot. The cold draw is perfect. This morning’s beverage is a cold brew latte.

This cigar brings on the strength immediately, with lots of coffee and cedar in the flavor profile. The retro-hale is peppery yet fairly smooth. This is definitely a full-bodied cigar. The burn is very good.

In the first third, some spices appear on the tongue to add to the flavor profile. So far, the flavors lack the typical sweetness of an Oscuro and are more like those in a heavy Maduro. The retro-hale remains smooth with pepper notes, and the burn stays even.

Size of Cigar: 6.5 inches long by 42 ring gauge

This cigar has a very smooth dark wrapper. The foot gives off light earthy aromas, and the cold draw is perfect. Today’s accompanying beverage is a Shiner Bock.

The initial flavors of the Lancero are earthy and somewhat sweet. There is a light white pepper note in the retro-hale. The burn is very even.

This is a medium-bodied cigar with excellent flavors. In the first third, some cedar notes join the flavor profile, and some of the pepper notes appear on the palate. The medium grey ash falls fairly easily, and the burn starts to become a bit uneven. But I will give it some time.

Mi Quierda Firecracker

October 8th, 2018

For those of you familiar with the 2 Guys Smoke Shop vitola, you’ll expect the short review that follows.

This cigar looks and smells almost identical to the regular Mi Quierda line, except that it measures 3.5 inches long with a 2 inch tail off of the cap.

Initial flavors are earthy and cedar-like with some of those cloying '(Steve) Saka (the cigar's blender) notes' we all love. The retro-hale is lightly peppery and smooth, and the burn is perfect.

The first third is excellent if short. This is a very full-bodied cigar. Some pepper appears in the main flavor profile and remains in the retro-hale.

hupc2 H. Upman, Petit Corona

Size - Mereva (Petit Corona), 5 inch X 42 Ring Gauge
Wrapper - Cuba
Binder - Cuba
Filler - Cuba

Wrapper
Beautiful medium tan wrapper, firm feel, thin veins, nice looking triple cap. This cigar has a nice sweet tea and sweet bread smell. Very nice.

Construction
This cigar is solid with no soft spots evident. The draw is a bit tight but smokable. Prelight draw is sweet with hints of cinnamon. Cigar burns evenly with a solid gray ash.

Flavor
This cigar is a solid medium cigar with the flavors evident from the first draw. Lots of bitter nuts and coffee flavors. About an inch into this cigar, the cigar picks up some strength with flavors changing to toasted nuts, coffee and cream. The final third is full with toasted tobacco flavors, and some sweet tea on the finish. A well balanced cigar overall. I enjoyed the flavor changes as I smoked it down.
