Henri Winterman's Corona de Luxe

Very good value cigars, but due to the cheap price it makes me question are they any good?

Has anyone tried them? What are they like? etc...

Would be greatly appreciated! :D

For what you pay for them they are not too bad, however, if you want to smoke good cigars these are way off the mark.

As above, there is not much difference comparing the Henri Wintermans to a good cigar than comapring a good cigar to a B&H.

I do enjoy them now and again but would not recommend them to people.

oh, and if you are looking at the samplers in the other thread, don't even think about getting these.

BLEH :41:Says it all really... eggy being down on a cigar is virtually unheard of (a Bahia Blue Label excepted, if memory serves me well).

I'll have the occasional Henri Wintermann if I'm totally sloshed, but price:quality ration is pretty poor, even at that cost.

I'd definitely recommend these (http://www.jjfox.co.uk/p24001/ALONSO-MENENDEZ-NO-10-Lonsdale-25S-.php?prodcat=1&startpoint=0) at less than three pounds a pop - great cigar, astonishing price from JJ Fox. (Here's my review of it (http://cigarmonologues.wordpress.com/2010/10/04/alonso-menendez-no10-nc/) - my mate thought it was a cracker too)

Simon's choice seems exceptional value (Sorry Si, missed your review of those, they sound rather good, especially at JJ Foxes price!)

Please don't start off on the wrong foot with those foul Wintermans.

It'd be like having your sexual experience with Susan Boyle, and could really give you the wrong impression of what a really good cigar is like.

Sorry Si, missed your review of thoseIt only went up about a minute before my reply - you'd have been sharp to have spotted it before hand... :biggrin1: (I'll include one as part of payment ;) ). The only problem is that you can only (seemingly) get them in boxes now.

I haven't had sex with Susan Boyle, but if I did I'd close my eyes and pretend it was the Gruffalo, to make the experience more pleasant.
