Default Guillermo Leon Signature Corona

**Its freezing out, so I would like to use my hands as little as possible for this review (and probably many more over the winter months), so I'm going to try a short, quickie review version that I hope will still give you a taste for the stick while keeping my hands warmer!



This is a fairly new smoke to the market, released at this year's IPCPR by Guillermo Leon and La Aurora. I'm smoking the Corona size, gifted to me by Steve over at SmokingStogie after I won a drawing. Lets see how this stick burns!

First Third
-Starts off with a medium body and light smoke
-Leathery, wood, and nutty flavors
-Getting some coffee and sweetness in the background
-Construction is good

Second Third
-Similar flavors as the first third, though a bit less defined
-Enjoying the nutty and leathery notes
-D/A/B still on target
-Picking up a bit in body, still only medium+ though

Third Third
-Getting more wood and some spice in this third
-Construction is great, just left it for 10 min and still burning!
-Definitely nub-worthy
-Tiny bit of harshness at the end, my only gripe

Score: 90
-Go try one, great stick that is very well priced

Smoked one of these that joetownhound gave me over the weekend. Have to admit that I don't recall hearing about these, but Dennis tends to like similar smokes as me so I figured what the hell. I really enjoyed it. I did no research on it before lighting it so I wouldn't have any preconceived notions about the taste. If you had asked me to pinpoint the country of origin I would have said Nicarauga, but with a little more spice than usual. Seems I was 1/6 right and probably the extra spice I was getting was coming from the Dominican tobacco.

I"d keep a few of these around.
