La Aroma de Cuba Double Corona
It's been awhile since I last had a cigar. I was out in LA for a week, then sick for a week. Finally, though, Dan, Ryan and I were able to slip to have alternative happy hour. I was excited about trying this brand, as I've never tried it before ever.
Construction: This cigar burned evenly with great oily feel. The draw was a little loose, maybe close to a little too loose, but still acceptable. It never needed to be relit. In short, it's the good construction that has become predictable these days.
Taste: The cigar tasted mostly of tobacco. It was full bodied. It wasn't an offensive taste, but it didn't stand out to me either.
Stats: This cigar measures 7.5 inches by a ring gauge of 52. They're constructed of mostly Honduran tobacco, with a little Nicaraguan filler thrown in. Holt's sells these for $5.10 a pop.
Overall: For the most part it was an well constructed but bland tasting cigar. However at $5.10 for a Double Corona, I can get my flavor from glass of Scotch. I definitely recommend this to be tried.
