Cigar Review: J. Fuego 777 Corona
By Jesse | November 20, 2008 |
Company: J. Fuego
Line: Triple Seven (777)
Vitola: Corona 5.5 X 46
Origin: Honduras
Wrapper: Nicaragua
Binder: Nicaragua
Filler: Nicaragua
Flavor: Medium
Strength: Medium
Price: $80 (Box of 21)
As I mentioned the other day I recently picked up a box of J. Fuego 777 Coronas and thought I bet get around to reviewing them before I find that I’ve smoked my way through them.
Well constructed cigar with a maduro Criollo wrapper and a mix of Criollo and Corojo in the filler. They burn well, but I did have one that was a bit tight. I think a few days stored at a lower RH will help that out though.
I tried the larger sizes at first, while they were enjoyable the corona is by far my favorite of the line. The base is a creamy smooth dark chocolate with just a touch of sweetness to it. The reason I prefer the coronas is the spiciness comes across a bit stronger to balance out the mellow chocolate and earthy notes.
Verdict: Not nearly as intense as the Delirium or Gran Reserva, but a very enjoyable smoke. I’ve bought a box and plan to buy another shortly.

Nice review. These are on my list to try. Which site did you find them at ?

They don’t have them on their website, but I got them from The Party Source. Give them a call, they’ve got a better price than anywhere I’ve seen online. 1-866-78CIGAR

You can get them at http://www.silocigars.com as singles or box. I enjoyed this smoke. Mine was hard to keep going though. A couple days of dry boxing helps.
Nice review Jesse

I would have to say these are not recommended. Its true everyone has there own tastes but these are one of the very few cigars I smoked and did not enjoy.

Dry boxing the 777’s seems to help. I also had some burn issues with these and some draw issues. Let them get a bit dryer and they smoke very well.
