Fall Smokes - Coronas
 |  | BERING Imperials | | Country: Honduras | Wrapper: Connecticut | Binder: Honduras
| | Manufacturer: Swisher International | Filler: DR/Hon/Mex/Nic | Price: $1.95
| | Panelist #1 | What a pleasant surprise, getting
such a fully-developed and mature
taste from a corona. Packs quite an
impressive punch. SCORE: 4.6 | | Panelist #2 | I was real surprised by the full body
of this little powerhouse. Looked
good before lighting, and got better.
I recommend it highly. SCORE: 4.5 | | Panelist #3 | This makes for a great quick smoke
that can be enjoyed any time of day,
though it might be a little much for
the early morning. SCORE: 4.1 | | Panelist #4 | Say hello to my little friend! This
is a small cigar with a big taste.
This Ătweener was one of the best
in the review. SCORE: 4.0 |
 |  | PUROS INDIOS No. 4 Especial | | Country: Honduras | Wrapper: Ecuador | Binder: Ecuador
| | Manufacturer: Puros Indios Cigars | Filler: Brazil/DR/Jam/Nic | Price: $3.50
| | Panelist #1 | It's an excellent cigar, easily the
best of the bunch. Complex flavor
scheme and medium- to full-body
strength. Lovely. SCORE: 4.2 | | Panelist #2 | Overall, it's a good cigar with complex flavors. Very well-constructed.
My compliments to the torcedors.
Not for beginners. SCORE: 4.3 | | Panelist #3 | I might have just found my new
regular cigar. Everything about this
is to my liking: strength, flavor, burn
and finish. SCORE: 4.8 | | Panelist #4 | If this cigar drew better, perhaps
the aftertaste would not have
been subpar. I'm disappointed;
looked like a beauty.SCORE: 4.2 |
 |  | V CENTENNIAL 500 Series | | Country: Dominican Republic | Wrapper: Connecticut | Binder: Mexico
| | Manufacturer: Tropical Tobacco | Filler: DR/Hon/Nic | Price: $4.00
| | Panelist #1 | Don't let the tight roll on this 'gar
put you off. The tobacco is superb
and the flavor will win your heart.
A three-run homer. SCORE: 4.0 | | Panelist #2 | This one perplexed me. It started
strong but seemed to lose its way.
It's a gorgeous stick that just didn't
back it up. SCORE: 2.8 | | Panelist #3 | This cigar left a lump in my throat
that I did not enjoy. Might stand up
with a heavy drink. Teases the palate but doesn't deliver. SCORE: 2.5 | | Panelist #4 | It's a pretty strong cigar that is
made of good tobacco by caring
hands, but something's off. Close
but no cigar! SCORE: 3.3 |
 |  | CUBITA Coronas | | Country: Dominican Republic | Wrapper: Connecticut | Binder: Dominican Republic
| | Manufacturer: SAG Imports | Filler: DR | Price: $2.70
| | Panelist #1 | It was a pleasure to smoke a little
cigar after all those robustos and
other biggies. This little baby was
really enjoyable. SCORE: 4.2 | | Panelist #2 | I enjoyed this little corona. Unassuming in appearance, it packs a
healthy punch. I had a happy half-hour with this one. SCORE: 4.1 | | Panelist #3 | This combines all the tasty aspects
of a Dominican cigar. It proves you
don't need a robusto to enjoy a big
smoking experience. SCORE: 3.9 | | Panelist #4 | Tasty, well-made stick in a handy
size. A very worthwhile everyday
stick for the golf course or back
porch. SCORE: 4.2 |
