Quick Smoke: Protocol Themis Corona Gorda
18 Aug 2019
A couple times each week we’ll post a Quick Smoke: not quite a full review, just our brief verdict on a single cigar of “buy,†“hold,†or “sell.â€
The Corona Gorda size of the Cubariqueño Cigar Company’s Protocal Themis blend was formerly exclusive to Pennsylvania-based Famous Smoke Shop. Earlier this year, though, it became available to all retailers. Made at Erik Espinosa’s La Zona cigar factory, the cigar’s shiny, golden Ecuadorian wrapper surrounds Nicaraguan binder and filler tobaccos. Ideal combustion qualities reveal a medium-bodied combination of light roast coffee, hay, cream, and nutmeg, backed up with a sneaky green and red pepper spice on the finish. Judging from the one I had this is a versatile cigar that could be enjoyed in the morning with a coffee, after dinner with a whiskey, or anytime in between.
Verdict =Â Buy.

I have not seen this cigar. I also want to know its price.
Suggested retail is just under $10 per cigar.
