Notorious Cigars Corona Gorda

The Notorious Cigars Unapologetic Sixty brings the series’ intense Broadleaf character to a particularly voluminous 6 x 60 format. The dark Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper from the USA envelops an Ecuadorian Sumatra binder and a robust filler blend of tobaccos from the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua and the USA. The generous diameter produces a cool, dense smoke and allows the various tobaccos to come into their own. The flavour profile is dominated by dark chocolate, espresso, black pepper and earth, accompanied by molasses, leather, roasted nuts and toasted oak.

Notorious Cigars Unapologetic Sixty, ring gauge 60

Measuring 6 inches in length and with a ring gauge of 60, the Sixty is approximately 152 millimetres long with a diameter of around 23.8 millimetres. This substantial size offers a large burn surface and ensures a voluminous smoke. The intense character of the Broadleaf wrapper is broadened somewhat by the high proportion of filler tobaccos. The Ecuador Sumatra binder adds extra spice, whilst the tobaccos from three different countries provide structure and complexity.

Dark roasted flavours with natural sweetness

The smoke opens with dark chocolate, espresso and rich cocoa. Black pepper lends the profile a distinct spiciness, accompanied by earthy notes. As the smoke progresses, leather and roasted nuts emerge. Particularly interesting is the dark molasses sweetness, which offers a smooth counterpoint to the tart roasted flavours. Toasted oak becomes increasingly prominent as the cigar progresses, lending the finish a dry, distinctive and long-lasting character.

A large format for a robust broadleaf experience

The Sixty is aimed at connoisseurs who prefer large ring gauges and intense cigars. The manufacturer classifies the line as medium-bodied to full-bodied. Despite this strength, the focus is not on raw power, but on the combination of dark, sweet and spicy notes. The 60 ring gauge ensures a cool smoke and a particularly generous smoke volume. Anyone who appreciates espresso, dark chocolate, leather and Broadleaf sweetness, and prefers an imposing size, will find here an expressive interpretation of the Unapologetic range.
