Wrapper: Dominican Corojo 2006
Binder: Not disclosed
Filler: Dominican Corojo, Nicaraguan Habano
Robusto: 3 1/2 x 46
SRP: $5.99
This is a smaller version of the A. Flores Gran Reserva Robusto. The Half Corona pretty much delivers a compressed version of the smoking experience of the Robusto. The Half starts out with pepper and cedar sweet spice. I also detected a nice secondary cinnamon flavor in the first half. In the second half, the flavor profile changed to a more earthy flavor. The sweet spice and pepper were replaced by more of an exotic spice. The flavors were medium to full-bodied and the cigar had medium to full strength. Construction was excellent as the cigar delivered an great burn and draw.
The Half Corona is a fine smoke. The difference is I think one is better off sitting back, cutting, lighting, and enjoying the experience the Robusto is going to deliver as opposed to the “quick smoke” of the Half Corona.
