Pinar del Rio Fumas

“Saw a good deal on the PDR petite coronas, and was thinking they might make a good winter stick, when you don't want to freeze for too long in the cold, but are just jonesin' for a decent cigar (and cheap enough that if you have to toss it, you're not going to feel the sting too bad). I do like some of the other PDRs especially the Seleccion Limitada 2010 in the toro and the Sungrown in the torpedo. I found the fuma to be tasty, had this charcoal taste that reminded me of a well done steak coming off the grill (which I like).”

“The only reason I bought these is because I need a CHEAP stick in my humidor. I bought the Pinar del Rio robusto. The wrapper is nothing impressive and the band is basic. Then I lit one up and was surpised at how good they were. Not the best cigar I've ever had, but for the price these are a no brainer. I'm no doubt going to get more of these. Great for an every day smoke. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.”

“Excellent cigar! I'm not much for fancy wine type reviews and really can't discern all the quoted distinct tastes as some reviewers, but I can honestly say Pinar del Rio in Corona '42 size has good tobacco flavor, mid strength. PdR's have found a regular place in my humi.”

“Let's get the bad out of the way first: These are not perfect cigars. The wrapper is thin and there are numerous imperfections in it. And now let's get to the good, and there is plenty of good... These are really enjoyable cigars, even burning and full of really good tobacoo flavor with mild to medium body. For an inexpensive everyday smoke they are just great. I wasn't expecting much for the price but after having tried both the Corona '42's and the Churchill '48's I was pleasantly surprised and consider these PDR Fumas to be an excellent value. I'm ordering more, and that really tells you all you need to know. Grab a bundle, overlook the wrapper imperfections and enjoy a really nice smoke.”

“With every order, I try out something on the cheaper end of the scale..an inexpensive smoke that I can go to any time of the day and know I will have a decent cigar. I was buying one of the Pinar del Rio Torpedo Sampler packs when I saw they had these Corona Fumas for only $1.10 apiece, so figured I would try them out. I cannot believe how good this Corona is right out of the Priority Mail Box!! I would consider them a medium body but is very smooth, had a nice ash and never burned hot. The wrapper was a little flaky, but one would expect this in a cheaper cigar. If they are this good now, they should be fantastic after some humidor time. I truly believe I have found my every day cigar. The product description was right on the money, they really are great for the price.”

“I recently purchased 40 of the PdR Petite Coronas from CI with the implicit objective of a small cigar for the road trips I frequently make AND that was flavorful enough that I'd actually want to smoke them. I'd been on a mission to find the perfect smoke and required an economical but tasty smoke that was easy to handle and did NOT last an hour or longer. This cigar, my friend, fits the bill perfectly. I can't speak to other sizes, but the Petite's are medium to full bodied with just enough flavor to keep me from tossing out the window after 10 minutes. Very pleased with this find. I like variety and smoke all sizes at home and find that I smoke these there too for a quick good smoke. My go to smoke at home is a 5 Vegas Classic double corona if that gives you an idea of my regular taste to base this review. I'm a fan of CI's offerings at their price points!! Great 'Bang for the Buck' !!”

“Took some coaxing, but if you don't mind the time, good draw and good taste for $22.50 (robusto.)”
