Product Introduction
The Diplomaticos No. 5 is a medium-full Petit Corona released in early 1966 and discontinued in 2010. It comes in a box of 25 cigars, with each costing around $8. It's hand - made and originated from Cuba.
Appearance
The wrapper is colorado with a red hue and has few veins but some darker areas. It has a rating of 2.5/5.
Construction
It shows good workmanship, a nice firm feeling in the hand, and a well - fitting cap. It allows for a good cut and has a great draw, rated 3/5.
Flavor
- One third: It starts with a sweet tobacco flavor. The finish is clean, short, and crisp. The aroma has spices, but little in the smoke. It has a medium - light body that fluctuates.
- Two thirds: It gives a nutmeg flavor at medium body. A puff tasted like biscotti to the reviewer's girlfriend. It has a lot of nicotine and the end of this third is a bit bland.
- Three thirds: There is a light sweetness and intermittent cherries. The sweet tobacco remains. The finish is short and sharp. It's also high in nicotine and too hot to nub.
Value
It's a good cigar. Don't buy at full vintage retail price, but it's worth getting a few. It has a value rating of 3/5.
Overall, the Diplomaticos No. 5 is a decent smoke worth trying, though it didn't overly impress the reviewer.
