Tasting Anwer Bati: A good, short cigar, Cuban style - especially for beginners
If you want to smoke a good, short, traditional style cigar, the La Galana Petit Corona is a good recommendation (especially for beginners). It has a medium-strong taste and has an excellent structure for a small cigar. It burns and draws very well, and the pursuit of an uncomplicated but aromatic smoke couldn't be more consistent or flavorful.
