Origin : Cuba Factory Name : Corona Size : 142 x 16.67 mm Ring : 42 Weight : 9.29 g Hand-Made Price : ~$11/piece
Not only it looks good, but the Partagas Coronas also smokes excellent, I must say. I heard this one is often called a Cuban classic – well, it’s quite easy to understand why.
Appearance : [rating:4.5/5]
As I have already said, the stick does look good. Partagas Coronas is simply gorgeous.
Construction : [rating:4/5]
It has a beautiful silky Colorado Maduro wrapper, a moderately generous and consistent draw. Good overall construction.
Flavor : [rating:4.5/5]
Like all Partagas models, it packs quite a punch, and is dominated by earthy/peaty notes. Develops considerable complexity with time in the humidor. Last 1/3 is rich and surprisingly powerful for this size.
Value : [rating:5/5]
As usual, what’s good with Partagas is the price 🙂 It’s hard to find a real high quality Cuban cigar for $10 (I got one for 6€ in France).
Overall Rating : [rating:overall/5]
Overall, a very good experience. Partagas Coronas has what is takes to be a quality cigar – a fine draw and rich classic flavors.

I’m enjoying one right now. I picked it up in Jerusalem last month for close to $15 (incl VAT). My only regret is that I didn’t get more.

Two of us had split a box and shared my half with a few friends. I’d bought the box in 2006 and the cigars were from 2002. 🙂

You’re a real chain smoker, aren’t you? 🙂

A year ago I got a box of these that had four years of age on them. They really didn’t last very long. I think we smoked them all in 3 months.
