EnigmatiC Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 As a big fan of cigars with fruit notes (cherry, citrus, stone fruit, whatever) I wanted to know if you guys could point me in the direction of a corona-ish sized smoke that delivers? It can be a CC or NC, it doesn't really matter. I know RyJ has about 10 of them but I haven't really heard a good thing about any of them. Thanks gents!

SpecialK Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 RASCC has a stewed fruit note to them .. my mind goes to Raisin ..... 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bijan Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Quai d'Orsay Coronas Claro has a citrus/orange to it. From the RyJ small cigars, Sports Largos are the best to me (cherry and sometimes Turkish delight), but a bit smaller than a corona. Rafael Gonzalez Petit Coronas (maybe Perlas too) can have a fruit element on occasion, but again more of a stewed/dried fruit like the RASCC. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaptain Karl Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 QdO Corona Claros are an orange creamsicle. @Bijan is on point with his comment. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginseng Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Agree with the QdO and RASCC recommendations. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the same creamsicle from aged Siglo V so perhaps aged Siglo III if you're looking for Coronaesque? I think their flavor profiles are very similar when young for sure. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nKostyan Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 The most fruity cigar for me was CAO Amazon serie. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are definitely on my list to try...although it is a rather long list And I suspect I would have better luck finding Jimmy Hoffa than those QdOs at this point 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cairo Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 The first time the QDOs Corona Claros showed up here out of the blue one day earlier this year--I was stunned and got a box--probably because most other folks figured it was an error by our host and were slow on the draw.🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainQuintero Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 I'm trying to think what Corona ish cigars are left! El Rey del Mundo, San Luis Rey, Juan Lopez, Punch, Romeo y Julieta would be where I hunt for fruit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SansSin Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 the cigars i consistently get fruit flavors from would be any RA for chocolate raisins, the RyJ Exhibicion No.4 for cherry coke, and the JLS2 for chocolate orange Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if wrapper shade has anything to do with it as I don’t think I’ve had many darker wrapper epi 1...what is the shade on yours? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I havnt gotten them from any other HdM! They’re the darkest wrappers I’ve seen on a HdM. I’m definitely thinking it has something to do with it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enduin Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 I second the RASCC. Raisin and stewed/cooked fruit on good ones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
