Cubana Corona Claro Box 25

The pre-revolution era machines give these cigars a surprisingly consistent draw, and the first third opened up with a nice mild creaminess. I lit one up on the porch last night and it burned perfectly to the nub without any touch-ups.

Smoke is smooth and even from first light to the last third, and the draw is effortless. That old machine pressing gives a firm, consistent roll that burns straight down to the nub. Glad I grabbed the box of 25.

The draw on these is incredibly smooth—almost effortless—and the ash held firm for over an inch. They’ve got that classic corona size that’s perfect for a 30-minute smoke with a coffee.
