Frank Correnti Cigars

Do they truly qualify as Habano? Not sure. You guys and the admin can decide on this one.

Anyway, I just visited their factory here in Toronto. I bought a fiver of the PC's and a fiver of the Coronation, both in Maduro. Fired up a Coronation. Tasty, but a little too wet. Nothing some drying out cannot cure.

Just wanted to post my experience for today.

What's the makeup of the cigars?

They may be a "Clear Havana" style cigar (or whatever the Canadain equilivant of "Clear" may be, in this context) but they are certainly comprised of POST-EMBARGO CUBAN TOBACCO, and therefore are subject to the same legal issues. So while they may not be "Habanos", this is probably the most appropriate forum to discuss them.

they get leaves from Cuba - one of a few places outside of Cuba. the sticks are okay but nothing to write home about.

the above observation is spot on - they are very wet when fresh. i managed to age one for about a year and it was very good.

if anyone wants, i could buy some for you and trade for real Cubans - LOL
