The Double Corona vitola is firmly packed with an even roll and a neatly applied cap. The cold draw presents cocoa husk, barnyard earth, and a spark of black pepper. Upon lighting, the draw is smooth and consistent, producing dense, aromatic smoke. The burn line stays sharp with minimal touch-ups, while the ash forms solid, dark-gray stacks that hold well between drops, showcasing excellent craftsmanship.
