Burn & Smoke

The triple-cap head punches clean, revealing medium draw resistance. Expect steady combustion with 6-8mm ash holds. Watch for occasional canoeing in final third - gentle purging helps maintain flavor clarity.

Tasting Notes

First Third

Toasted cedar leads with baking spices (white pepper, nutmeg). Undercurrent of raw almonds and faint creaminess. Retrohale shows subtle graham cracker sweetness.

Middle Third

Maintains core nuttiness while introducing espresso grounds. New world tobacco earthyness emerges through leathery undertones. Smoke texture thickens noticeably.

Final Third

Mineral notes dominate as core flavors simplify. Occasional bitter cocoa flashes appear without harshness. Recommend stopping at 80% mark as nicotine builds.

Comparable Coronas

  • Romeo y Julieta Coronitas en Cedro (4½"×40) - Brighter citrus notes, tighter roll
  • Macanudo Cafe Ascots (4½"×34) - Milder, cream-forward profile
  • Arturo Fuente Short Story (4"×49) - Similar strength, richer cocoa core
  • Davidoff Grand Cru No. 2 (5"×42) - Higher complexity, citrus zest finish

Construction Insights

Rolled at Tabacalera de García using Dominican Piloto Cubano binder. The Ecuadorian wrapper leaf shows visible toothiness - indicative of slower fermentation. Box-press style maintains structural integrity despite thin ring gauge.
