Casa Magna Corona and Margaritaville Coffee Latitude Attitude: Review

The Cigar

Casa Magna Corona

Nicaraguan Puro

Wrapper: Ligero Cuban seed Colorado

This Colorado wrapper gives this cigar a nice reddish brown color.

Fillers: Cuban seed Ligero and Visos tobaccos from different areas around Nicaragua 

Size: 6 x 46

Flavor Profile: From off the light to the finish this cigar has a solid medium-full style with flavors of dark roasted coffee to hearty earth and a nice touch of cedar.

It is said to pair with a Speyside Single Malt Scotch. 

This morning I am pairing it with a medium roast coffee by Margaritaville Coffee called: Latitude Attitude. 

The Coffee

Margaritaville Coffee Latitude Attitude

Medium Roast

Margaritaville Coffee has a wide range of roasts:

Pirates Gold: Dark Roast

(I don't have the name): Medium/Dark Roast

Latitude Attitude: Medium Roast   

Sunrise in Paradise: Light/Medium Roast

(I don't have the name): Light Roast

License to Chill: Decaf

I found these at Big Lots: $5.00 for a 12oz bag

I have had all of these and I personally think they are straight forward in their coffee flavor; meaning they do not have any special flavors to them.  I have to admit that I do like a simple coffee that is still tasty and that is what they are.  I can tell the difference between each of the roasts and the decaf is pretty good as well.  I always find it hard to find a decaf that tastes good.

I think this coffee lineup by Margaritaville Coffee is a must try for cigar smokers to try to help understand the difference between the different roast styles for describing flavor profile notes. 

The Pairing

This medium roast called Latitude Attitude is matching well with the Casa Magna Cigar that I am enjoying this morning.  The cigar has a full dark roast coffee profile and this medium roast coffee helps to make this pleasing on the palate. 

Coffee is a perfect pairing with most cigars for their flavor profiles match up so well.  

Morro Castle Robusto and Margaritaville Coffee: Review

The Cigar

Morro Castle Robusto

Wrapper: Ecuador Sumatra

Fillers: Nicaraguan and Honduran

Size: 4.7 x 52

Off the Light: moderate oak and soil earthy tones.  A nice robust start for a mild-medium smoke.  As the burn continues the slight robust start mellows after the first half an inch.  The moderate oaky note settles to a touch of oak with a good buttery wheat bread note stepping up to the plate.  There is a mild coffee taste with a mushroom earthy tone kicking in.  The texture is smooth and mellow overall for the first half.  I’ll give it a 4 on my strength scale. 

Second Half: the smooth and mellow texture graces the palate for a pleasurable morning cigar.  The light oak and damp earthy tones along with the mild coffee taste continues.  The damp earthy tone reminds me of portabella mushroom and lightly toasted leafs.  I did not pick up any peppery spice on this robusto like I did on the Toro size. 

My Strength Rating: 4 – mild-medium

To the Point: a very good mild-medium smoke.  I personally like this as a morning time cigar.  You will enjoy smoking this down to the nub. 

The Coffee

Margaritaville Coffee State of Mind

Medium/Dark Roast

$5.00 from Big Lots for a 12oz bag

Blend: South American, African and dark roasted Indonesian coffee

Nothing super special here. It is just a straight forward tasty medium/dark roast coffee.

The Pairing

The medium/dark roasted coffee flavor blends well with the light earthy tones of the cigar for a great morning experience.  The buttery toasted wheat bread note of the cigar mingles with the State of Mind coffee to make you think you are eating breakfast during this pairing. 

If you are looking for a very good morning cigar to enjoy with your coffee the Morro Castle Robusto is it.
