ERDM Gran Coronas : Stopwatch Corona Gorda Review

[Habana Mike]

King of the World Grand Corona

RPO OCT01 - discontinued in 2002

Start at 11:03:50AM birthday morning, first smoke of the day.

The cigar has a silky wrapper, minor veins, almost perfect triple cap, colorado claro in color, firm roll, firm draw - well made and good looking cigar

Earthy, leather, spice on cold draw

Upon first light and into the first third molasses, cedar, coffee, leather come through - slightly darker flavors than the Choix Supreme

It's medium bodied, rich flavors, creamy mouthfeel

Burn off a bit at the onset, straightened out after the first inch - razor sharp burn line

Draw opens up at the mid-point - great smoke production

More sweetness, sugar cane, cedar picks up, toasty, floral notes

An hour in we approach the final third -

Strength increases as it progresses, more powerful, smoke coats the palate

90 minute mark

More leather, medium to full bodied now

An excellent cigar

Just over the two hour mark. This is a cigar I've enjoyed for some time, shame down to less than a handful....
