    Crowned Heads La Coalicion (Corona Gorda & Gordito)

    Both are kinda mesquite-y and this is the main one-note flavor , throughout.

    Not really dry, nor flat. Maybe slightly oily wood.

    Close to full bodied. Solid mediumish flavor. Pretty good strength.

    Maybe chalky.

    There's a clean smoothness to it.

    There's a some kinda slight fruit juice that fades away.

    Lots of smoke output.

    Some of the main differences between the two:

    Corona Gorda



    -Jalapeno-like burn in mouth throughout was nice.

    -Pretty interesting initial puffs.

    Gordito



    -Believe the hint of juice lasts a bit longer.

    -No jalapeno burn.

    -Less interesting initial puffs.

    -Thoughts of some taste similarities to the Padron Londres Maduro.

    Judgement:

    Both were good, and I prefer the Corona Gorda. Both didn't really do it for me, and this line is at the bottom of my CH ranking. Price is still steep when a healthy discount is thrown in; but without one - it's way too steep for what it delivers. Construction and a long burn time (2 hours for the Gordito) are somewhat of a saving grace. Won't return anytime soon, nor do I want to check-out the larger vitolas. I'd recommend one or two; maybe a fiver, tops.
