Mantequilla Double Corona
Origin: Nicaragua Mantequilla Double Corona
Size: 7.00 X 48
Wrapper: EMS

JR Cigar says:
"Mantequilla" means "butter" in Spanish and is a perfect name for this buttery, sweet Nicaraguan puro. With a choice between a rich EMS or a chocolate maduro wrapper, these square-pressed, densely packed cigars are literally exploding in sales volume.

Notes:

JR's catalog says Mantequilla is Spanish for butter. I say it's English for plugged. I have three boxes of these and almost all of them are plugged. They are not too moist and therefore not drawing, they're plugged as in the bunch is rolled over or incorrectly. I've aged them for two years including leaving one box out for 7 months to dry (just in case it was too moist as JR's claimed). Nothing helps these cigars. They are poorly made from poor tobacco. Even when you do find one that's not plugged it's lacking in flavor and depth. I've had better tasting seconds.

Notes:

JR has become more and more just a self serving high profile cigar retailer. Once I think they really were the cigar smokers friend, now I think they are nothing more than hype.
This is not a bad cigar, but it's not, nor will it ever be a good cigar. The ones I smoked I had in my 'dor for over two years. I'd have hoped that with that kind of time, they might have turned into something worth talking about. But if you start out mediocre, your not gonna get a whole lot better. Butter? Bullshit. Save your money.
