On a scale of 1-10 I give it a 7. CA might give it as much as a 70, but IMHO it is a real Poor cigar.

I bought a sampler from AltadisUSA and tried the Corona Gorda, a 6X 52 cigar with a nice brown wrapper but upon clipping and taking a test draw it tasted and smelled like my grandfathers White Owl.

That sucks. I just got the sampler from Altadis. Maybe I'll let them sit for a while (or put in the RATS pass ).

I have the same sampler. I'll let them sit for a little longer too!

I had one I bought when they first came out, I think last fall. I kept putting off smoking it until I finally said what the hell about a month and a half ago. It wasn't bad, really. It sort of suprised me. Would I buy a box? No. Would I smoke one for free? I'd consider it, lol.

I too got the smapler pack and smoked
the corona first. Now what I would call
a go-back to cigar. Will let the
other 2 set for a few months - then smoke
or maybe pass-off.

I will throw out the minority vote here. I actually liked it. I have only had one belicoso and I thought it was a great smooth and creamy smoke. It is not one that I brag about, but I would buy a box to diversify the humidor.

i've had several of these, and thought they were okay...good cameroon flavor with creamy feel, and good construction...i've got one in my humi now from before they were even on shelves, so maybe it will be great...lol...
