UnderCrown - Corona Viva
Miss Cigar here:
I won't bother explaining the origins of this series as it has been written at least a million times. Long story short; limited supply of Liga Privada tobacco, high demand - UnderCrown now exists. The market existed and Drew Estate/Liga Privada delivered.
Today I'll be smoking the Corona Viva, AKA Corona Gorda.
This cigar is 5 5/8" with a 46 ring. A favorite vitola of mine!
Unlike the ever popular #9 and T52, the UnderCrown uses a San Andres Maduro. This is a wrapper with mexican origin, but it has some similar properties and flavor profiles as broadleaf, without the high demand and high price.
The binder is a Connecticut grown habano leaf. The filler is a Brazilian Mata Fina and Nicaraguan habano. Based on the Liga Privada blends, the Undercrown simply uses lesser primimgs then the normal Ligas. So, as a fan of Liga Privada I'm interested to see what this cigar is all about. I've her mixed reviews, lets see what this cigar does for me.
