Corona Gorda 5 3/5 x 46
I
Pack softens considerably against burn, but its mechanics hold. Good draw, tight 'nuff seams. Slightly wobbled burn grows grey sheath to nigh inch. Piquant notes of smoked paprika, cayenne, red pepper and a lingering peppercorn carried by hardwoods and a underneath cedar. Baccy is at once yeasty and quite sharp.
II
Piquancy dials back to retro-hale mainly; a creamy citrus emerges. Burn seems a tick-quick. Walnut/pecan. Leather. Peppercorn re-spikes in a growing earthen under-belly. Creamy/citrus gains a milk chocolate attachment. Hardwood leaves cedar, clove rushes in. Cedar and spiced leather lead. I feel like I'm calling a horse race!
III
Lotsa nuance is buried as clove and peppercorn soar. Leather and cedar fall back to form middlings up-on earthen under-belly. Flavors wobble more-so than transition meow. Burn-line wobbles too, self-corrects. Mouth is a-tingle nigh a-flame. A fullish strength which seems to wanna be a medium. Levels some at warm nub.
