H. Upmann Petit Corona Review

• Brand: H. Upmann
• Length: 129 mm / 5.0 inches
• Ring: 42
• Score: 4/5 (Overall)

Appearance

This cigar has a milk chocolate brown wrapper and a slightly squared box-pressed shape. The wrapper has veins, looks rustic, and feels a bit lumpy. It has a Cuban “barnyard smell” mixed with cedar.

Construction

The wrapper is well - applied, never cracking or loosening. It smokes superbly, with a perfect draw, a straight burn, good ash - holding, and no over - heating or swelling.

Flavor

• One third: Smooth upon lighting, with earthiness and subtle spiciness. Can be exhaled through the nose easily.
• Two thirds: Caramel flavors start to appear in the smoke and intensify.
• Three thirds: A distinct corojo taste is more prominent than in most other Cubans, and flavors remain consistent.

Value

It is priced in line with other Cuban petit coronas. It packs big - cigar flavor in a small package, offering good value.

Originating from Cuba, this hand - made Petit Corona weighs 8.46 g, has a box code of ROA AGO 06, and costs about $7 each. It's a great choice for new Habano smokers and those short on time.
