Just won an auction really cheaply, so no big deal if its a let down.

Any reviews on these?

I got some. They are nice everyday cigars. Nothing special, but not bad either.
I smoke them when I am out in the yard or in the back field for a walk.
One thing to remember about them though, they are not premium cigars, so don't expect them to taste as well as the premiums.
If you don't expect too much from them, you will probably find you like them.

Thanks that sounds like what I'm looking for. Something cheap, mild, and quick to smoke. Can't wait to try them.

2 days on this web site and I'm hooked!

I won a wheel of the corona's. I rate them as medium strength not mild to medium as the reviews have said and they get quite a bit stronger as you smoke them down. There are some strong overtones of spice, like allspice or cinnamon and a peppery sharpness to the bouquet. They remind me of Thomas Hinds Honduran but with more punch. I think that someone who likes the Thomas Hinds would like these. Every one I've tried has been well made with a nice draw.

I was disappointed in the sense that I wasn't looking for another cigar like TH and was hoping for a diamond in the ruff. The price was extraodinary.

Despite this somewhat mediocre review, I should mention that my friend and I blew through 15 of them in a flash.

I got a real deal on the churchill size and I smoke them every now and then. To me they are pretty good (excellent construction, good draw, consistent, and with subtle spiciness), and for the money, they are damn good! I have offered them a number of times to my novice cigar smoker acquaintances. Not too full-bodied, easy to keep lit and smokes evenly. As I've posted elsewhere, I read some place that they are made by the folks that make Ashton, and judging by their consistently good, uniform construction, this may be the case.
