Really enjoyed the smoke overall. Nice flavor and good draw. I usually don't go in for conneticuts but this one had a very nice body to it and tasted great. Unfortunately I think I picked up a bad one and had burn issues throughout the first third. After about two thirds I put it down for about 20 minutes, picked it back up and fought me to stay light. Would definitely buy again based on flavor alone and hopefully not have any issues with the burn.
Another abnormal review. Sweet and spicy as expected, but the second from this box with burn issues. The pepper notes hit harder than expected from its look. The draw wasn't as great as usual, although the construction seemed ok. Again, particular stick would not stay lit for very long without multiple relights.
Abnormal review. Sweet and spicy as expected, but not very smokey due to burn issues. The pepper notes hit harder than expected from its look. The draw was great, and the construction seemed great as well, but this particular stogie would not stay lit, which is rare for Undercrown lines.
TL;DR - significant and subpar burn issues, though I think it's a good cigar.
5 mos aged. ⏳️
Prelight is a barely noticeable light tobacco. Pleasant but faint. Goldilocks draw with great initial appearance. At half an inch, I've had to correct the burn line twice already. So it's a rough light-up and it's staying bad. There's a core problem that only a roller could have caused. Continuing, the high-burn core issue on one side is paired with a lagging side that won't keep up. I'm coming to the end of the first third, and I don't know if I like the cigar yet. Jeez Drew.
About halfway the burn is finally self-correcting. That's a whole lot of wasted cigar. 😕 I'm finally getting some flavors that don't include pure charcoal. It's woody with a bit of leather. There's a kind of spice that's settling on the palette and is present in the retro. Clove?
Coming to the end of the smoke, I think it's a good cigar. Medium strength. Giving Drew Estates the benefit of the doubt, I'll hope the burn issues were isolated. Generally this was a bad experience, but I'll try it again.
1mo rested. Burn and draw great. Ash tight and fell at halfway point. Interesting overall flavor, has a slight bitter taste. Notes of cedar, grass, nut, cream, spice, and citrus.
Repeated review. Sweet, spicy, and very smokey! The pepper notes hit harder than expected from its look. Clean construction, adequate draw, and a very even burn.

Paired with Pursuit United Double Oak…great combination!
This thing is a little smoke bomb! The shade wrapper gives it far more punch than I expected. Great construction and firm, structured ash, but there’s an underlying harshness to it that betrays its reasonable price point. It draws easily and burns well, but my overall impression is it’s a very average, typical cigar. I’ll try it again in a different vitola, likely, but this corona pequena isn’t it for me. I’ll chalk it up to the ratio of wrapper and binder to
