Pennsylvania from what I have been told. Pretty interesting smoke. The taste is quite rich.

As issues mentioned before, the broadleaf comes from a single farm in Connecticut. Hence the term 'Connecticut Broadleaf'.

It tasted like sweet chocolate. Kind of like when you are making chocolate chip cookies and you eat some of the chocolate chips right out of the bag.

That's what I've been imagining. Which size did you buy?

The smallest one. I think it is called HCB or something.

Had one last night, good cigar. The only thing I didn't like was the spice disappeared after the first inch and never came back.

Corona Gorda, don't get me wrong, it was a good cigar. I just liked that spice at the start.

I just finished mt 1st Corona out of my 5 pack. I have to say I usually smoke through a fiver before committing to a box but after the 1st one I'm placing an order. I find them to be a bit more complex than what I have read (to me a complex cigar has multiple flavors at once not necessarily single flavors that change as you smoke), just a tad. I had a few cinnamon, coffee, leather and sweet notes in the beginning and towards the end I could feel the spice in my stomach. As mentioned before these are a USA puro and that's pretty damn cool. Who knows we might see some knock offs labeled as Conn seed instead of Cuban seed:-) I doubt it but the whole package with this cigar is a home run- flavor, tobacco, frontmark, packaging, and price!

Hi-jacking my own thread. I can't stop smoking these. Even with some other new stuff I just got I keep reaching for this stick. This is my favorite cigar new cigar in a long time, it's not for everyone.. but it's for me for sure.

Was gifted one at Shack (thanks, Andrew!)... While not my normal fare, it is considerably milder than the rest of the Tat line.

Keeping in mind that I don't normally smoke this type of cigar, I can say it wasn't horrible by any means. I could imagine this would be a very popular cigar given the price point. Got very "chalky" in the last third.

Given that I like to support a B&M on the rare occasion that I visit, I would probably pick one up again, but would send it along to the troops. It is a nice cigar, but just doesn't fit my palate :-)

Last thing... I noted that a number of places call it a Nicaraguan cigar, whereas others call it 100% US tobacco. Wondering why so many seem confused, especially those on the retail side.
