The famous Union general Ulysses S. Grant was said to smoke 20 cigars a day….a rather hefty number for even the most seasoned cigar enthusiast. With a look very reminiscent of the times, this decorative box houses 30 handmade coronas that offer a modest and smooth tobacco flavor. An extremely affordable and patriotic gem with an even more attractive everyday price!
Good cigar. Nice taste, held together and had a good burn. I am really pleased with this cigar and it has a great price. if they are consistent with the product I will be getting more.
The old addage "You get what you pay for" holds up here. Cigars seem even smaller than a standard Corona, factory-made smoke quality, ash falls immediately. As cigars continue their increase in price, I am constantly in search of decent value cigars to smoke around the yard. This one is not it. Better, bigger, tastier cigars are available on this site. The best thing about this cigar is the box it came in. My little boy loves it.
Not a full time cigar smoker, mainly pipes. But, I bought these for the old school style, hoping for old school flavor. Style and flavor didn't disappoint. It's a nice cigar, medium in flavor, pretty consistent through out. Only slightly strong/harsh at the nub. Perfect size for me, and I thoroughly enjoyed the flavor. A good leaf is used, despite the price. The downside - construction. I full third of the box basically fell apart shortly after lighting, maybe got 1/4 to 1/3 and it just fell to pieces. Construction isn't great, but even with that said it's still a good value and I'd buy again. On construction -- they all drew well et cetera. Just issues with the binder/wrapper falling apart. I will also say, that I haven't experienced any construction issues as I wrapped up the box. Maybe some extra time in the humidor gave it time to bind together better? Not sure.
Excellent everyday cigar. Fantastic price. Nice mild cigar with great draw. Construction could be better but for the price I won't complain.
