The Mexican Revolution would have been impossible without the effort and sacrifice of the Soldaderas. These brave female warriors persevered and refused to be defeated despite their constant condemnation as a result of the ideologies of the time. The Soldaderas line is dedicated to those brave female soldiers, who fought for justice and freedom.
The Soldaderas line consist of:
Sampetrina Robusto; 5 x 50
La Coronela Majestuosos 1966; 5 1/2 x 58
Teniente Angela Toro; 6 x 52
Today we take a look at the La Coronela Majestuosos 1966.
The Mexican Revolution was a pivotal time in the emancipation of gender oppression, as well as an opportunity for independence from political and economic tyranny. "La Coronela" was born and raised as Amelia Robles. It was not until she joined Emiliano Zapata’s army, that she adopted the name Amelio Robles.
This cigar is an homage to "La Coronela", a Soldadera who took part in over 70 combat missions. She earned the respect of her peers for her courage in battle, skilled use of weapons and incredible riding ability.
She was given the title of "Coronel" by Emiliano Zapata himself in recognition of her outstanding accomplishments. Although the government never formally conferred her with these titles.
"La Coronela” served as the inspiration for the creation of this complex, aromatic, and rich in flavor cigar, as a tribute to México.
This cigar offers distinct flavors and aromas which evolve beautifully as you smoke it. The best way to end a wonderful evening is by pairing this cigar along with a Cognac. The strength of the cigar balances perfectly with the complexity of this spirit.

A large ring cigar that looks nice and has a nice feel in the hand.
The test draw after cutting the cap was good. The initial flavors at light up were citrus, citrus peel, brown sugar, light almond, quite a bit of earthiness, and leather. There was black pepper rated at 7 1/2. Not a bad start.
At the first third (30 minutes) the cigar is changing. I now had a lot of dry earthiness. I still had a little of the citrus/citrus/brown sugar and the almonds are quite noticeable. And the leather with the dry earthiness at the base. There is more earthiness than leather. The cigar is medium bodied. The finish is leather with average lingering black pepper. I rated the first third 91.
As I moved through the second third (1 hour 5 minutes) the earthiness is creeping up. I had nice brown sugar with some citrus/cedar notes, earthiness, and leather. I didn't have the almond notes anymore. The cigar is still medium bodied. The finish is leather with good lingering black pepper. With the increased dry earthiness I rated the second third 89.
The cigar lasted 1 hour 35 minutes. The earthiness kept creeping up. There was a low amount of citrus/cedar, light brown sugar, and leather. The cigar is now medium to full bodied. The finish is leather with a hint of brown sugar and very good lingering black pepper. The lingering black pepper increased over the burn time. The creeping earthiness caused a final third score of 87. This cigar is pretty good but a little too earthy.
