I smoked one of these little Antaños already

Good, very tannic. No regrets. We'll see how they settle in

This 5 X 60 Marco V Gold feels like a monster.

My WI family are big fans of this brand (one of them gifted this to me last summer)

$4-5 for full sized smokes that are pretty good. If I favored Toros or whatever this size is for my daily I'd be buying Marco V. Their Black Sapphire is my favorite so far (Maduro wrapped Nicaraguan)

An outstanding cigar, sorely missed. Cuba appears to have its head up its backend with discontinuations such as that one. Sadly, my last LGC went up in smoke several years ago
I hear you. I am completely priced out of the market now. I am lucky to have the sticks i have. Maybe some day i will pickup a box of petite coronas but that it.

New make and model to me- La Galera Imperial Jade (corona).
I pick up new Cameroons when I see them.
Has had mixed reviews.. we’ll see.

I’ll have to agree with reviews I’ve seen.
Construction and draw are excellent.
Beyond that though..
The first third was fine. Not great but smokable. It quickly developed a lot of cedar and an astringent citrusy quality. Not at all what I (or many) look for.
Hard pass.
