The Smoking Syndicate: Powstanie San Andrés Corona Gorda (Audio)

Powstanie added their 4th new line to its cigar portfolio, called the San Andrés.  This new cigar features a San Andrés wrapper from Mexico, giving them another maduro option alongside their Connecticut Broadleaf, Habano, and Connecticut lines.  One of the main reasons for the San Andrés was the scarcity of Connecticut Broadleaf maduro, and they wanted to give their cigar smokers another, more available maduro option.   The Corona Gorda size was added later in 2026.  Coop reviewed the robusto size here [https://cigar-coop.com/2025/08/powstanie-san-andres-robusto-cigar-review.html]. Powstanie San Andrés * Wrapper: San Andrés, Mexico * Binder: Ecuadorian Habano * Filler: Dominican, Nicaraguan * Country of Origin: Nicaragua * Factory: Fabrica de Tabacos Nica Sueño S.A. * Vitola:  Corona Gorda * Size:  5 1/2 x 46 * MSRP:  $13.50 Final Score:  91
