A little while back, I noticed there was quite the chatter over some of the harder-to-find Corona cigars, and the usual disappointment at their discontinuation. I count myself among those who strongly lament the loss of most of the Corona-size cigars from HSA's catalog, because they are still my favourite size of all cigars, and I still think the offer the best package for Cuban tobacco possible - the perfect proportions of size and length to deliver the most of each marca's unique flavours.
To that end, I decided to put aside a month this year to do a series of reviews - one review for each marca's Corona that I could find, to remind us all of what we've lost, to salute some of the finest cigars HSA has ever discontinued, and to see if we can't build a little more awareness and support to the vitola....lest we lose the few coronas that still remain in production!
Besides all that - it's fun to review and compare, and see who comes out on top!
So here's what I'll do - I'll post a roster of the Coronas I could find for review, and post a review at regular intervals on this thread. (there are a few that I could not acquire in trade, but I'll comment on the ones I might have had in the past - in the interest of completeness).
I invite everyone who wants to post about Coronas to chime in, I'd love to hear your thoughts on Coronas you've liked, experiences you've had, and if you want to review a Corona and post here to go with my reviews - by all means join in!
I'd like this to be a fun month - I hope you'll enjoy this trip down memory lane, and that you can join me in lighting up a Corona or two yourself this month.
Cheers!
