I've smoked three sizes and I personally believe that they have smoked wonderfully! :cbig:

I've seen these for $10-12 in some places just for the small corona.

For that kind of coin... there's ALOT of stuff I'd rather smoke. The first (and last) one I had was not spectacular. YMMV.

Only smoked one a friend gave me. I would buy a five-pack.

To me it was a great morning smoke with a fresh cup of coffee and the sun just breaking dawn.

Out of the box, they need a week or so. Something is weird with the humidity. I couldn't get my corona largas to stay lit right after I bought them, but now they smoke fine.

So far ive smoked the Churchill, Corona Larga, and Robusto. I think they are a very tasty cigar, milder than say the classic Illusione line, but still a nice complex smoke. They need a little humi time, but even just a few weeks makes all the difference from my limited experience with these. Ive got the Toro in my humidor now and I am really looking forward to trying that one.

I had a sample from IPCPR last year and it was fantastic. Tried one recently and it didn't hit me the same, I would definitely smoke it again but was disappointed.

I thought they were awful. The stick is constructed well. The taste is the problem. It was chalky, tasted very course and ashy. I was very, very disappointed. However, it appears that I am in the minority.

The samples i got from IPCPR sucked. I have smoked 3 of each new ones. THey are ok, not great. I would buy a stick here and there, but wouldn't go out an buy a box anytime soon. I put 2 of each to rest for some age, so we will see how time treats them.

But, keep in mind, different smokes for different folks.

I've had the corona larga and the robusto very shortly after the release. They were very wet and uninspiring to me. I'm hopeful wet was just due to being fresh and I'll have the same great experience as some others are having. But so far, I'm not reaching for them.
