"The other reviews of the Corona are accurate"
This cigar is just what you expect if you read the other reviews of the Corona. Most of the reviews here on Famous are right on, written by normal Joes looking for a good smoke at a good price. The Corona is no exception. The cigar is a nice short smoke at a very easy price point. The flavor is pretty weak, but in no way objectionable. Buy a bundle and always keep one in your travel case. Then when you have 15-20 minutes to kill, waiting for the wife at the mall for instance, you can spark one up, relax and enjoy the moment. These are so cheap, you don't feel bad if you have to cut it short and toss it.

"Good!"
This is a good cigar. The construction and draw rank up there with more expensive brands. Pleasant aroma and taste. The first inch or so is at times a little sour and charry, but it smooths out to a very mild creamy smoke. Can be smoked anytime, but is especially good in the morning, making it a great cigar for taking along when fishing or camping.

"off beat taste"
The burn and draw are fine but the taste was disappointing -- like a twice-lit cigar.

"Welcome solitude"
These aren't an extraordinary brand, but certainly dependable. One of the ones I can count on. If you like a mild smoke that's not overwelming, give these a try.

"Great every day cigar!"
Excellent, burn, construction, consistency and draw. Good flavor at a good price. Comparable to a Helix, although I think this cheaper cigar has better flavor and burn. My new favorite every-dayer.

"Not My Recommendation"
For a deal of an auction price without a fight, along with comments, I decided to gamble and try SOLEDAD. In regards to the overall three categories, Appearance, Construction and Taste, 2 out of 3 is not bad UNLESS, the odd man out is the most valuable one. The appearance is good and consistent, with a "fair" looking band, nothing that impressive in design. Overall appearance I would put at "8.0" Construction - Excellent construction in regards to consistencies, BUT, too much air coming through with each draw. Each cigar reflected the one before but the problem with too much air was consistent as well. No variance whatsoever. The burn was perfect and the ash was solid and remained until I decided to bump 'em off. A+ for consistency but minus on the draw - "7.5". The taste - where is it? If I smoked one with a beer, I could swear that I was smoking a cigarette without a filter. "4.0" on the taste. Overall score = "6.5".

"Excellent cigar for the money!!"
Ordered 10 Coronas without much expectations, boy, was I pleasantly surprised, to say the least. I smoked this corona while playing golf, then a much more expensive Perdomo an hour later. The Soledad was a better smoke, with a pleasantly medium flavour, will definitely order a box of these.
