Cigar of the Week: Don Tomas Classico Coronitas
As the folks at Monty Python used to say: “And now for something completely different”. We are departing from our usual feature format where we offer you a single cigar. Today’s feature, Don Tomas Classico Coronitas, comes in a tin of 10 little cigars.
Honduras’ Don Tomas is one of the most respected names in the business; the cigars have been crafted by hand in the old-world tradition in Danli, Honduras since the 1970’s. Re-launched in 2006 by General Cigar Company, the brand is today available worldwide.
These Coronitas are hand-crafted and feature a blend of Nicaraguan and Honduran fillers; the outer leaf is a natural Honduran wrapper. Don Tomas Coronitas have a silky construction and mild-to-medium bodied smoke with hints of spice. They are just over 4” long and have a ring gauge of 32.
Little cigars like the Coronitas are ideal for times where you just don’t have the ability to dedicate an hour to a cigar; these last ten minutes or so, making them ideal for cooler days or situations where you are pressed for time. As a quick smoke they are also great “Dog Walkers”; Fido will eventually learn that when you approach the humidor, walkies will follow. And at the feature price of $21.73, you’ll have money left over for dog treats.
