Cigar Reviews
La Aurora
Connecticut Seed Wrapper
Dominican Filler & Binder
Petit Corona


RATING: 8.75
A solid good looking cigar. A few stated it was slightly veiny, but light colored and attractive. A grayish black ash gave way to a pleasant aroma, with a medium to mild, rich tobacco taste. Kept its firmness throughout the smoke. While one reviewer said draw was even and easy, one said it was slightly tight. A mild, lightly spiced aftertaste.

"A nice even burning cigar. Light and pleasant."
"This is the type of cigar I would choose from a humidor."
"It tasted weird unlit, but flavor greatly improved."


Available at all fine tobacconists.



Mohegan Sun
Dominican Filler & Binder
Corona


RATING: 7.5
A well rolled, solid cigar. Texture was smooth with a slightly oily wrapper. A light, "nice-looking leaf." Had a somewhat sweet and pleasant aroma. While one reviewer said it had a sweet flavor, one stated it was somewhat harsh. An evenly burning pure gray ash. All agreed excellent draw. A few hot spots by some at the end. Again, one said it had a clean aftertaste while one said it was not smooth.

"Overall a well-made cigar."
"Although it had burned hard at the end,
it didn't burn my mouth with bad taste"
"A good cigar, however, I found the taste a little bitter"

At present, only available at Mohegan Sun Casino, Uncasville, CT (860) 204-8000

JUST A NOTE: This one really surprised us. We honestly didn't think this one would rate as highly as it did. One of the best new private labels on the market.



Bendana
Connecticut Shade Wrapper
Cuban Seed Filler & Binder
Torpedo


RATING: 6
A good looking torpedo. One reviewer stated there were too many veins. All agreed a nice solid cigar. Looked and felt nice and tight. A pleasant, sweet aroma and a solid white ash. The wrapper was soft and spongy. A few said the draw was excellent while one said it was very hard. No hot spots, and a woodsy aftertaste.

"Cigar became a little soft after being lit"
"Started as a good feeling, good smoking cigar, burned a little hard at the end"
"A great looking torpedo, my favorite"
