Let's talk about the Don Diego Classic Petit Corona - your perfect 45-minute companion for coffee breaks. This mild Dominican blend comes in boxes of 25 at $135.22, packing a 5" x 43 petit corona shape that feels like holding a pencil made of pleasure. The smooth Connecticut shade wrapper isn't just pretty, it's functional - perfect for office smokers who don't want to smell like an ashtray afterwards.
The cold draw tastes like licking a manila envelope - in a good way. Initial puffs bring dry hay and sweet almonds. White pepper lingers behind your molars like a shy relative at a wedding. Combustion stays razor-straight even with quick puffs.
Here's where the honeyed cashew flavor justifies its "classic" name. The smoke feels like inhaling through a cashmere scarf. Watch for tiny tar beads forming at the cap - keep a toothpick handy after the 20-minute mark.
Surprise cocoa powder note emerges like a competent junior colleague taking over a project. The ash holds firm until the band point. Stop before the last inch unless you enjoy licking campfire residue.
Produced at Tabacalera de García (same factory as Montecristo), the Dominican-Nicaraguan filler mix accounts for that steady burn. The silky wrapper feels thinner than my last paycheck - store at 68% RH max. Pair with cappuccino or light rum, never whiskey unless you're trying to mask the subtle flavors.
