Quick Smoke: J. Fuego Gran Reserva Corojo No. 1 Corona

4 Dec 2010

Each Saturday and Sunday we’ll post a Quick Smoke: not quite a full review, just our brief verdict on a single cigar of “buy,” “hold,” or “sell.”

With a profile of dark espresso, black pepper, and dry wood, this sungrown corojo-wrapped Corona (4.5 x 46) has plenty of spice from the first puff. The blend’s full-bodied power is complemented by wonderful combustion qualities and aromatic resting smoke. Still, even as a huge J. Fuego fan, I can’t fully recommend this bold beast. The flavor is a little too unbalanced to justify the $7 price tag.

Verdict = Hold.

    Agree. My mind is still not made up on this smoke. It has potential, but only time will tell.
