La Imperiosa Corona Gorda cigar review

10/19/2026

Got this one from a brown bag special from Atlantic. Never heard of it. Research says it's made by Crowned Head based out of Nashville. It's made in the My Father's Don Pepin Garcia factory in Esteli Nicaragua. 

 


It's a Ecuadorean Habano Oscuro wrapper with the rest all Nicaraguan. I don't normally talk about the smell before lighting but this one has a good funky smell, meaning it should be full of flavor. 


Not gonna lie. This one tastes pretty good immediately. Has a good dark charred cedar and wood flavor that has a touch of sweetness to keep it from being too much wood flavor. Like a dried fruit taste on the aftertaste. 


I did have to touch it up at first. Started canoeing.  But it's even now. 


First fire of this fall. It's like 52 out now with no wind. I guess y'all northerners would be loving it. I like it but I'm not used to the cold yet so I'm close to the fire. 


I'd say it's a medium smoke. Really smooth, lots of smoke if you pull on it, and lots of flavor. Still leaves a good flavor on your pallet.


2nd half is getting a lot more sweetness. Almost like a flavored smoke but just a great aftertaste. It is burning quick. It's a flavor bomb, not an easy smoking late night smoke for a long night. It is Monday night, and it's cold out. I'm really enjoying it. 


It's just so full of flavor and never any harshness or bite. It's going full flavor now and only leaves more strong good flavors. Don't need a drink. Does it go with the coke and Stratosphere gin? I mean I guess it does. I think this cigar will go anything. It has an overpowering good profile. 


I will buy again. It ain't cheap, like $10 a stick. Can get an hour out of this one. If I can buy one a little bigger, it might be one of my favorites.  I'm going to try more and I'll pay the premium.  


It's giving me even more richness the last inch. It's definitely full flavor now. Is it complex? Yep. It keeps a similar flavor profile but constantly changes its strength and changes from rich wood to dried fruit, then sweet, then not sweet, and then back to a dark wood and dried fruit and cedar profile.  Gets stronger each inch.  Always leaving such good flavors on my tongue even down to the last nub.  Really enjoyable. 


Try one and you'll want more.

Alec Bradley Superstition Robusto cigar review 2/23/26 Never had a bad Alec Bradley cigar. Even the ones I've gotten cheap have been excellent.  I think I got this one from a sampler, probably for cheap.  I think these are about $4 or $5 a stick.   It's a short smoke. Nicaraguan habana wrapper with binder and long filler of Nicaraguan, Honduran, and Dominican tobacco.  Starts off with a definite Nicaraguan flavor. Has that leathery, charred oak flavor, but definitely smooth. Just like all the other AB cigars I've smoked.  All different but different flavors and profiles.  Is it good the first inch? Hell yeah.  Did I mention it's cold out?  Yeah, about 28 now.  That's why I chose this short smoke.  By the fire it's not too bad.  And that's why you prepare your fire before. A propane torch a few minutes on your small pieces of wood, super hot in just a few minutes.  Pretty windy though. Bad smoking weather. But it's burning ...

Here you will find honest reviews about the cigars that I bought myself and smoked myself.  I like to enjoy a fine cigar 3 to 4 times a week, late at night, sipping on some fine bourbon or tequila.  I've been smoking cigars for over 20 years and I try to be unbiased and honest in my reviews.  You can't trust most of the reviews on the internet or posted on most retailer's websites.  I don't really care if some guy tastes every flavor of the dessert buffet on some crappy cigar.  I want to know if it was an enjoyable cigar that satisfied you and you want to smoke another one.  That's what I try to give you.   <script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-9914815924126887"      crossorigin="anonymous"></script>

Tatuaje Tattoo by Pete Johnson robusto cigar review  1/14/2026 This might be my 2nd smoke ever from Tatuaje. I've read good reviews and such but these are not popular and don't know much about them. Got this from a sampler many years ago. Should be aged well.  It is supposedly all Nicaraguan with a Ecuadorian wrapper. I  think they are like $5 a piece.  Wow, as soon as I lit it I get not one canoe but two canoes on the tip. Never had that before. I touch it up with some spit and relight it with my torch lighter and get it burning good.  Is it any good? Damn I don't know. I can't taste it yet. Seems pretty mild.  It's now smoking good. I can start to taste a mellow and creamy , somewhat sweet taste.  Definitely a mild to medium smoke.  Basically a mild flavor with a sweet and spicy aftertaste.  The spice heats up. Still mild but a lot spicier flavor. I guess I do like spicy cigars because I do start to like this one.  I should complain ab...
