Goviado Black Label Petite Corona

That's funny, I smoked a couple ROTT and didn't get the ammonia at all. I liked 'em a lot, especially because it is freezing outside.

I'm not quite sure what it was. I smoked one as well ROTT, but I don't remember it being that acrid.

Unfortunately these little cigars have a lot of nice flavors that are drowned by the acrid ammonia flavor that is present. It is safe to say these need more time. I'm hoping they'll turn out to be the cigars I expected in a few months.

Fresh cigars are excellent. The differing flavors are sharp and distinct. Then, 5 days to 3 months later, an amonia flavor/smell can develop as the different leaves start meld. That acrid/amonia flavor can remain for a couple months to a year.

I'd say that these could be great after they've gone through the melding period a bit.

Peace of the Lord be with you.
