I decided to try it after reading mostly positive reviews. I wasn't disappointed as it was a strong tasty stick. I liked the looks and size of it even prior to lighting. The reddish brown wrapper had a sheen to it and I was already thinking spicy, which, in deed, it immediately was. This stick had somewhat of a signature taste to me, different in a good way and unique to this cigar. That taste was seemingly salty and toasted nut-like followed by cedar wood and then a sort of lively tobacco taste as well as nicotine sensation. The finish had a sweet note and I'd agree it was sometimes bordering on a floral sweetness. Hey, this is an interesting and complex stick not for the faint of heart as it goes with signature taste profiles: polarizing. You either really like it or you really dislike it. I liked it as I'm always looking for a cigar that doesn't taste the same as the last two or three. Try it,hopefully you'll be in the same camp as I am and find it a worth smoke to mix in a varied rotation. By the way, the ash held quite well and after the tip being dark was all lighter grey with a fuller medium (not super firm) density. This explained that the volumous smoke was due to a really good roll which allowed the cigar to breath well and the draw to be effortless. The first Gran Habano smoke I’ve tried is the Corojo No. 5.

This is one bold and tastey smoke. some floral and fruity notes give way to the nice peppery finish. Its obvious that this cigar was created with some very special care and nurturing. Excellent construction as well with a flawless cap. Thanks for the great review!

Wonderful setup. The staff took a little warming up to while I was there but came around once they decided I knew a little bit about stogies. Not sure why the #5 is so hard to find in singles. The #1 & #3 singles seem readily available from local and online retailers. Not sure why the #5 isn't. The folks at Corona are very cool folks down there in sunny Orlando. Wonderful setup.

I haven't been able to try all the other varieties yet, but the #3 was a quite good medium-bodied smoke. Nice price too. Your price was nicer. :-) Sounds like Corona is a classy company.
