I had the pleasure of smoking one of these right after the PCA tradeshow this year. I immediately pre-ordered a box of the YPanda corona gorda and have smoked through half of the box already since it arrived. The Y Panda Corona Gorda cigar is an elegant premium cigar. From its impeccable construction to the carefully curated blend of tobaccos, every aspect of this cigar speaks to the expertise and passion of its co-blenders, Yan and Luciano Meirelles. Measuring at 5 5/8″ x 46, the size is perfect for indulging in a luxurious smoking experience. The Ecuadorian corojo 98 wrapper sets the stage with a flawless, oily sheen that promises a rich and flavorful journey. The double binder of Brazilian arapiraca and Ecuadorian Sumatra adds a unique complexity, creating a harmonious marriage of flavors. The filler, composed of Nicaraguan tobacco from Jalapa and Estelí, introduces a captivating interplay of edgy sweetness and mild, yet vivid flavors. This combination, likened to yin and yang, offers a delightful contrast that is a true delight for the seasoned palate. Luciano Cigars has truly disrupted the status quo with this blend, showcasing their signature complexity and mastery. Smoking the Y Panda Corona Gorda is not just an experience, but a journey through the artistry and dedication of its creators. For aficionados seeking a cigar that delivers on flavor and creaminess, this is an absolute must-try.
