Product Introduction

The Por Larrañaga Petit Corona is a Cuban cigar with a Petit Corona (Mareva) format. It has a size of 129 x 16.67 mm (5 1/8 x 42), a ring of 42, and a weight of 8.46 g. It is hand - made. A cabinet of 50 costs around $300.

Appearance

The cigar has a medium - brown wrapper with two large veins spanning its entire length. It looks a bit rough. The wrapper and cap seem well - applied, and it has a pleasant slightly sweet aroma. Rating: 3.5/5.

Construction

It is a well - made cigar. The draw is a bit tight but manageable. It burns straight, produces a stiff ash, and doesn't need relighting. Rating: 4/5.

Flavor

• One third: It has a light cedary taste and a sweet finish. The smoke is smooth and can be exhaled through the nose. After the first 1/4, it develops a pleasant creaminess.
• Two thirds: The taste remains consistent with the creaminess still present.
• Three thirds: The taste doesn't change much, and there is no harshness, indicating good aging.

Rating: 4/5.

Value

It's more expensive than some peers but offers good value compared to non - Cuban cigars in the same price range. Rating: 4/5.

It's recommended for mild cigar fans, especially when time is short. This local brand by Habanos S.A. comes in only three sizes, and the Petit Corona is the thickest at a 42 - ring gauge.
