Tasting Anwer Bati: A very satisfying cigar that is rarely found
The La Galana Corona is a very good example of this very popular cigar format, which promises the smoker a medium to full-bodied enjoyment. The taste is thanks to the tobacco leaves, some of which come from Nicaragua. The combination of these leaves and the excellent rolling quality allows the smoker to experience a full cigar taste with an excellent burn and draw. The tobacco leaves are mild and slightly sweet, and the aroma is pleasantly spicy. A very satisfying cigar that is rare to find.
