I received 5 of the Cuban Corona in a pre-release sample back in March. I found all of them had a tight draw that took away from the cigar, even after a few months humi time. I've since read that the wrapper on the actual production cigars were improved over the samples. Good cigar, but I don't think it lives up to all the hype I've read, IMHO. Maybe I'll have to try them again.

I've had trouble with the draw on the Petites. Dry boxing some to see if that helps. If not,back they go. XLNT taste BTW. X

I have tried one of the DOuble COronas. No draw problems. I think this is going to be one of the ones. Got some napping. Would like to try the Cuban Corona in this one.

I bought a box of the Lonsdales. I think they have a lot of potential. I put them into the humidor for a month to see how they shape up. Slightly tight draw, but not unusually so for a Lonsdale.

I've heard ALOT about these lately. Even though I've read that a few encountered a tight draw, everyone seems to agree these have an excellent taste. I HATE a tight draw, though; anyone have any luck with a little dry-box time?

being a bookseller, I am naturally drawn to these boxes! I will probably get a box, I will probably wait to see if they show up on auction here.

Smoked another Lonsdale last night. After three weeks in the humi, the draw and burn are much improved. The ESG wrapper gives a great spicy taste. These are winners. Gonz, you've gotta carry these!!!
