The Cigar: Chazaro Habana Corona
The Specs:
Wrapper: Habano
Binder: San Andrés Negro
Filler: San Andrés Negro
Country of Origin: Mexico
Strength: Medium
Size: 5"x 42
Shipping: US addresses only
Due Date: March 25, 2021
The Hype:
At Cházaro, we carefully select the best San Andrés Negro tobacco leaves harvested in San Andrés Tuxtla, Veracruz. The leaves are traditionally cured in barns for many months, after that they are fermented for 3 years. The Habana Cházaro cigar gives in more to the touch, completely smooth and perfectly made, its color is characteristic of the Habana leaf, a cigar with a pleasing quality profile. The cigar is composed of 50% strong tobacco and 50% mild tobacco giving the smoker a medium strength smoking experience.

Initially, volunteers should be Veteran status or higher and not doing the March review. This review will be due by March 25, so please, only volunteer if you are prepared to turn it in on time. If you are interested, please indicate so in the forum below and Brian will make the final selection.

Thanks again to Brian for providing the cigar. And thank you to the reviewers.
Bruce I'd be interested "ONLY" if you need to fill a slot I did one in January.

Brian and Byron, y'all are in!! 3 spots left...let's go newbies, git off yer arse and throw yer name in the hat!! :biggrin:
I did February and willing to do another if and only if you can't find others.
Same here, just did February but if you need a body I'm more than willing.

Thank you to all the Geeks who reviewed this cigar. Bruce nailed it, quite a diverse reaction, which I expected. It took me a few of these before I really appreciated the nuances that my pallet took notice to. Definitely not for everyone, but, it is for everyone to try! Thanks again y'all!! :biggrin: :bigthumbs: :rocker:
