Review of La Vieja Habana Chateau Corona, Corojo wrapper

The LVH CCC cigar is a good example of how a low-priced cigar can have plenty of flavor and great construction. There is a slight spice, medium flavor, and smooth draw and a good yet only slight aftertaste. The corojo wrapper really has a nice aroma (word of caution - when I first got my box and brought it home, it smelled like farm because it reminded of cow and earth. Luckily the aroma disappeared when I removed the cigars from the box and tossed box and the bed of tobacco leaves out).

Mixed filler cigars have really come a long way, and this is one of the best. I enjoyed a few LVH cigars in the past, when the box prices were about $10-$15 less, but even with the price increase, these cigars are still a fantastic bargain in my opinion. Drew Estate has done a good job and I highly recommend these cigars.
