Cigar of the Week: Don Tomas Clasico Coronitas
In Canada, we have two climate categories: big cigar weather, and small cigar weather. Right now, with temperatures plunging, it’s small cigar weather. That’s why this week’s feature is the Don Tomas Clasico Coronita, which at 4” x 30 ring gauge is the perfect size for Canadian winters. These cigars are a nice blend of Nicaraguan and Honduran fillers, hand finished in Danli. They take about 10 minutes to smoke and come in a tin of 10 cigars. This week’s feature price for a tin of 10 cigars is $21.73; as an added bonus, the first 20 purchasers will receive a double guillotine cutter valued at $4.99 for no additional charge.
