“Angeles” Petite Corona
This was sold sans cello so no unpleasant odors to contend with. The construction seemed solid although I had some tunneling in the first 1/3 and had to correct the burn twice. Draw was on the tighter side but smoke volume was still generous. Went with a V cut as I’m still getting used to my new cutter.
Prelight I definitely got the warm spices. Cinnamon, nutmeg, and all spice were very prevalent. The aroma this thing put off was intoxicating . It was the smell of smoldering hardwood throughout, like a warm campfire.
The smoke was thick and chewy but not overpowering. There wasn’t that pronounced lip and tongue tingle I usually get from darker wrappers. The retrohale was smooth and pleasant while the flavor stayed consistent the entire burn, with the warm spices floating to the background with oak and that thick, rich, nuanced chocolate-y/coffee flavor I usually notice in the Liga Privada coming to the foreground.
Verdict:
I burned it to the nub so that’s usually a pretty solid endorsement. All in all, a true 8 out of 10 with the knocks on it being burn related. I look forward to coming back to this once my other one has had some time to chill out and rest.
