How it smokes
A short, slim classic that shows off the wrapper. Thinner cigars have proportionally more wrapper, so the wrapper's character comes through more. It suits a quick smoke, a coffee break, or trying a new blend without committing an hour.
Choosing one
Most cigar lines come in several sizes, and the same blend can taste noticeably different from one size to another. Start with a line you already like, and try it as a petit corona. Use the cigar matcher or our database to find a blend first.
