Famous Private Selection Dominican Corona

Country of Origin: Dominican Republic

[b:b6c6450c84]Filler:[/b:b6c6450c84] Peruvian Seco and Ligero, Dominican Piloto Cubano Seco and
Ligero, Dominican Criollo '98, and Nicaraguan Ligero longfillers
[b:b6c6450c84]Binder:[/b:b6c6450c84] Dominican Olor
[b:b6c6450c84]Wrapper:[/b:b6c6450c84] Ecuadorian Connecticut
[b:b6c6450c84]Strength:[/b:b6c6450c84] Mild-Medium

The natural wrapper was a little veiny and the colors varied some but was evenly rolled. The draw was just right and the ash and burn near perfect.

Upon taking the first puff you realize this isn't a run of the mill dominican cigar. The complex flavors tantalize your taste buds from the start and continues to build throughout the cigar.
I have to say that I was delightfully surprized with the flavors this cigar produced. Having the word "Dominican" writen on the band gave me the preconception of dull, mild, flavorless and boring as many Dominican bundle and even box cigars have turned out to be in the past. Then I looked at the website and was astounded at how many different kinds of tobacco has been blended into this cigar. The only thing that would prevent me from buying this cigar in the future is the $60 a box price tag. This cigar rounds out with morning coffee better than most and I would love to always have some on hand. I will keep my eye open for sales.

This one gets an 8 on the tac-o-meter!
