Well, I finlly got to try one of these.

What a dandy little cigar.

Even my wife said it smelled really nice.

It had a sweet taste, smelled of coconut and the taste was pretty good.

I know alot of folks don't care for flavored cigars, but I really enjoyed this one.

The best price I've found so far for the corona was $53.

A little spendy for a little cigar in a 20 count box.

allllllll right. that's it! i gotta have one of these.

it's been on my "really wanna try" list since january when, at my local shop, a couple of guys were looking for a good flavored cigar. they were thinking along the lines of tatiana, though. i saw the moontrance box there and said that i'd recently read good stuff about that cigar. well, i ran into one of the guys the next week, and he couldn't say enough good stuff about the moontrance -- he and his buddies all enjoyed them for their new year's eve smokes (i had my first toraño -- 1916 torp for mine).

so, okay. it's just gonna have to happen. now then -- the ONLY local store with these has them going for $5+ per stick (not sure of the size; he just has one box of them open). what's considered a fair price for these? i like my local guy, but i do know that he's got a few prices bumped a bit high, too.

Hey Cav,

Hang tight on buying any.

I paid $4.30 on the one I smoked and Momma liked the smell of it well enough, that she says to see about a box of them.

When Momma says I can buy, I try and not give her any chance to change her mind. LOL!

So, when I get a box of them, I will send some your way.

I have some to send you already, but will wait until I get the moontrance to send them.

Since they came out, my wife and I've smoked 5 boxes of the Petit Corona sized Moontrance for a reason 🙂

The Earth Nectars are the Chianti infused ones. They are just as good,if not better! Eileens Dream's are pretty decent too, but then they ARE CAO's!

Me and my buddy tried the Moontrance petite corona's at the same time our signifiance other's tried the 'tinnies'. The flavor is definately more distinct in the 'tinnies' (i guess this s/b obvious b/c the petite corona's have more tobacco and less wrapper comparitively). Just wanted to send out and FYI so that everyone is comparing 'apples to apples'. I personally like the Bella Vanilla and Honey Golds better than the Moonies.. but i do agree that the moonie 'tins' are yummy. Smoke on!!!
