Purchased in April 2001...the cigar from this box was:

Wrapped in a medium to dark brown wrapper that was pretty nice. No oily sheen...but nice.
Construction was pretty good...uniformly slightly spongy....somewhat of a sloppy cap (which is something that does not bother me)
Draw is nice.....Burn was a little uneven at the start..touched it up a few times..now I'm almost done and it's just fine. The ash was semi solid..and light gray in color. Not flakey!
When first lit..this cigar was so intense it almost floored me (which is really hard to do) The initial intense level in both body and flavor calmed down and at about 3/4 of an inch into it..this turned out to be an outstanding tasting cigar. This is a powerful sucker...right there with ERH (which, btw..is almost too much for me sometimes)...and it has loads of nice flavors that are big enough to balance nicely with all this full bodied strength. The flavors seem to linger a little too....what a nice tasting cigar..hubba hubba!

When these were first released, I bought a ton of them in 8 different sizes. I have not smoked too many recently....but these Cuban Coronas are aging really well. The only one that really seems to be in the FUNKY stage right now is the 654...it's downright NASTY at the moment. I think these things should continue to age well for another 3 years plus, there is plenty of stuffing in these to go the distance....but based on this Cuban Corona....I'm going to start smoking these more often now that they have softened up a little. Well done Lew R..very well done!
