“Angeles” Petite Corona

This was sold sans cello so no unpleasant odors to contend with. The construction seemed solid although I had some tunneling in the first 1/3 and had to correct the burn twice. Draw was on the tighter side but smoke volume was still generous. Went with a V cut as I’m still getting used to my new cutter.

Prelight I definitely got the warm spices. Cinnamon, nutmeg, and all spice were very prevalent. The aroma this thing put off was intoxicating . It was the smell of smoldering hardwood throughout, like a warm campfire.

The smoke was thick and chewy but not overpowering. There wasn’t that pronounced lip and tongue tingle I usually get from darker wrappers. The retrohale was smooth and pleasant while the flavor stayed consistent the entire burn, with the warm spices floating to the background with oak and that thick, rich, nuanced chocolate-y/coffee flavor I usually notice in the Liga Privada coming to the foreground.

Verdict:


I burned it to the nub so that’s usually a pretty solid endorsement. All in all, a true 8 out of 10 with the knocks on it being burn related. I look forward to coming back to this once my other one has had some time to chill out and rest.

Nice write up, Ryan.

Just looked this one up, and now I'm confused (but that's nothing new!). Are the Miami and Reserva lines different? Looks like another rabbit hole for me to explore.

I’m not sure but now I’m wishing mine had that cool Reserva band. Lol

Yes, the Miami and Reserva are 2 different blends. Angeles is in the Havana VI line which is also separate.
Havana = red band, Miami = brown and Reserva is banded as Reserva and in order that would be good, better, best

You are correct. I double checked and it looks like this was a Noellas corona, I believe. That looks like the smallest vitola in the Miami lineup.

The Miami Noellas is a great smoke and one of my favorite sizes. The Angeles is also very good and I'd recommend it as one to try - very good price point.

They did the Noellas in Reserva back in the 2013 range and those are a "stranded on an island" smoke for me. They are fantastic and have aged well. I'm down under a full box so I'm in conservation mode but you'll see me post one every now and then.

Hmmm Perhaps my kid would enjoy trying all of these .......
