BLACK WORKS STUDIO PAPER CRANE CORONA GORDA

A very good smoke with a unique blend of flavors. It has an Ecuadorian Connecticut Desflorado wrapper, which is new to me. As an Internet scholar 🤣, I have learned through the interwebs that this involves an intricate, laborious process where the flower and its seeds atop the tobacco plant are meticulously plucked. It apparently redirects vital nutrients to the leaves, ultimately bestowing a richer, darker, and sweeter flavor upon the tobacco. I definitely noticed the subtle sweetness.

Montecristo White.

These were $4 earlier this year from Cigar Page but I saw these in a toro for $30 at a local cigar bar. Online for $15. WTH ?
I think that they're just an OK mellow stick.. Meh.

Personally, I'll take the Toasty Jones Connecticut. Maybe I simply have a screwy palate.

Kevin, I ordered a bundle of toasty Jones lanceros and every single one of them was plugged to the point of not being smokable.

Based on what I've seen here, I think I may want to try again.
