LGAR Round III: Playboy Double Corona (By Don Diego)

Posted by Dicksbain on 14 Jul 2008 at 04:58 pm | Tagged as: Cigar Reviews, LGAR

Today’s lunch included a turkey sandwich, my new book The Hutt Gambit (Star Wars: The Han Solo Trilogy, Vol. 2), and a Playboy Double Corona by Don Diego. If you haven’t been able to tell by the other LGAR reviews so far, the trend has been mild cigars. This is due mostly in part to a JR Weekly special I purchased a few week back.

The Playboy Don Diego edition is being retired and replaced with a bold, less mild new version. I found the Don Diego version to be the best mild cigar I’ve had in a long while. Not being a fan of mild smokes, I still can say I enjoyed this cigar enough to recommend it to friends (you, the leafytimes reader of course!).

Construction, burn, and draw - All up to Playboys and my standards. Taste - Smooth, mild nuts and honey is the best I can describe it. I have a hard time picking up aromas in mild cigars other than cardboard and paper…so that makes this cigar noteworthy.
