So here we have for review for a la corona petit caronas from 1991. these were a machine made cigar that were restarted around 1989 for the eastern bloc countries, they were distributed to Hungary and Bulgaria etc. they are not the prettiest of cigar i must say, a very lumpy wrapper with a lot of discolouration ..but the smell of the cigars in the box is of a dried fruit reminiscent to dried raisins . DRY DRAW - perfect draw just a slight 'tug' and a faint aroma of the dried fruit ..interesting. FIRST THIRD - straight off -sweet honey in the smoke and on the wrapper, slight white pepper through the nose that has long finish with lots of dense smoke. nice even burn line nothing else to talk of really. SECOND THIRD - the sweetness is still there that has turned from a honey to a burnt caramel flavour. the pepper is still there through the nose and across my tongue ..very long finish with the pepper. i cant taste the fruit aspect that was coming from box..perhaps that is the sweetness i am tasting. but in all honesty...not much change! FINAL THIRD - the caramel is still there along with the pepper...still the finish is long with the pepper up to 60 seconds before it disperses ..shed loads of smoke jeez i havent had such a smoked filled room in ages!..unreal..tbh i havent had one of these in a long time so its hard to remember if the box is consistent . CONCLUSION - not much change throughout..consistant with its flavours ...got earthy at its death..so i stopped at the band. - 90 points
