Matilde Oscura Corona

The 5 1/2 x 44 corona size feels just right in the hand, and that medium-to-full strength hits the sweet spot for an evening smoke. Burn was even from start to finish, and the Dominican tobacco tasted clean and rich. Definitely my new go-to when I want something consistent.

The 5 1/2 x 44 size is perfect for a 45-minute smoke, and the draw is smooth from the start. The ash held on nicely, which I always appreciate in a cigar.

This medium-to-full strength cigar burns evenly from the first light, and the 44 ring gauge gives a comfortable draw that lasts a good hour. The Dominican craftsmanship is evident in the smooth, consistent ash that held on for nearly two inches.
