NAME: La Aroma De Cuba
SPECS: Corona, 5.5" x 44
APPEARANCE: Some veins, somewhat oily sheen, medium firmness, great construction, nice dark wrapper
PRELIGHT: Easy draw, light sweet flavors of honey
FIRST THIRD: Heavy coffee flavors, very smooth, balanced flavors. Copious amounts of white, fragrant smoke. Very firm, white ash. Light spice on the aftertaste.
SECOND THIRD: Similar flavors from before, but picking up strength. I can pick up notes of chocolate, dirt, and earth.
LAST THIRD: Nice toasty finish! Medium to full body, with robust tobacco flavors. I nubbed this sucker.
SMOKING TIME: 1 Hour
PRICE: About $110 for a box of 25, $4.40 per stick
CONCLUSION: A pleasant and enjoyable smoke! The ash held on well, and the burn was straight throughout. A pretty straightforward cigar with some complexity. For the price, well worth it! Not in my list of all-time favorites, but a good stick nonetheless.

Right now, I have a couple different vitolas and types of la Aromas:
La Aroma De Cuba (Churchill)
La Aroma De Cuba Mi Amor (Magnifico - Toro)
La Aroma De Cuba Edicion Especial (No. 3 - Toro)
I've yet to smoke these ones yet, but I'll let you know how they come out! Should be good, but I'm gonna let them sit in the humidor for a bit!
