So I finally had a chance to smoke this one that had been sitting in my humi for a while. I tried to take some decent photos this time. Tell me what you think - http://wbfiller.com/cigar-com-brazilian-label-corona-cigar-review-by-stan-bogdanov/
I really love this cigar btw... As soon as I am better financially - I'll get a box of them. And this will be my FIRST ever box purchase. But this blend definitely deserves it - kudos Cigar.com!

I have a few of the house blends I got in a trade I need to try them.
It is consistent and the flavors are always what I am craving.
Because of their easy going rich flavor I think I'm gonna get some of these and keep 'em on hand to hand out to new smokers as well.
Lit up my first tonight, it was a stick I got in a pif package from zeebra a couple of weeks ago.
gar looked good all round, felt a little on the firm side but nothing unusual, wrapper tasted nice and sweet between my lips. Fired up pretty easy, nice initial taste. It pretty much went downhill from there.
From the outset I was beset by ignition problems, couldn't get smoke and the gar appeared to be out although it felt hot and when touching up with my light it appeared that the stick had indeed been lit, my inability to get any smoke continued unless my lighter was against it, although the draw was not too tight.
I continued to battle with it, was 'doing stuff' outside so i would pick it up and put it down, relight etc. wondering if it was going to improve. After 20 mins a hole appeared just past halfway down the cigar!!!! Apparently it had been beening a tunnel internally until for whatever reason it surfaced!!! By this time I was 1/3 way through so decided to let the main burn catch up with the 'hole', it did wagain with some help from my lighter, by this time I was in the last 1/3, at last i could get some smoke and flavor out of the gar, however by this time it was burning a little hot.
Altogether a frustrating smoke, I have never had a gar have such burn issues outside of a Thompson, actually I think that topped a Thompson!
I enjoyed the flavor, but the burn issue indicates a construction issue that has probably put me off buying any of these, there are plenty of cigars I have tried that have burnt flawlessly; and plenty more I can and will try that will probably do the same, that I can spend my money on.
Has anyone else had burn issues with this cigar?
