What It Tastes Like
In halfwheel’s tasting of the Half Corona, the cigar opened on baking spice and caramel before espresso and dry straw took charge, with cedar, nutmeg and cocoa nibs behind them and black pepper through the nose. The middle added a salty, mineral edge and coffee bean, and the last third turned toward salted popcorn and hay. Davidoff’s card adds cream, salted nuts and milk coffee.
Who It’s For
- Smokers who skip the cutter, since Davidoff lists the tin version as pre-cut and ready to light.
- Shade-wrapper smokers after espresso and spice instead of a mild profile.
- Zino newcomers who want a compact first taste of the brand.
