H.Upmann Petit Coronas - 25 cigars [5.0" x 42]
The construction of this H. Upmann Petit Coronas is amazingly impeccable. It has a nice slow and even burn that will stay lit for a long time even when put down.
- • Delicious earth, cocoa and cedar aromas and flavors.
- • Round and medium full on the palate.
The perfect cigar for a smoker which wants to avoid the full strength of a large cigar and yet is looking for lots of flavor.

Dimensions:
Length: 129mm
Diameter: 16.67mm
Ring Gauge: 42
Shape: Petit Corona / Mareva
Appearance:
This cigar has a light brown wrapper kind of like chocolate milk and a slightly squared box-pressed shape. The wrapper is rustic looking.
Smoking Notes:
Before lighting up
It has that Cuban barnyard smell mixed in with a little cedar.
Burn/ Draw
The draw is perfect, it burns straight, the ash holds well, and it does not burn hot or swell at any point.
Initial third:
This cigar was smooth upon lighting with flavors of earthiness and subtle spiciness.
Middle third:
You begin to detect caramel flavors in the smoke, which intensifies until the last third.
Final third:
The complexity of flavors in this petit corona was impressive and the taste remained consistent throughout the smoke.
In summary, it does a nice job of packing big cigar flavor in a small package.
Smoking time:
60 - 90 Minutes

Time in you Humidor is your friend ! !

By Douglas -
This is a follow-up to my previous review as I have finished the box of 25. The positive is that the cigar flavor and taste has notably improved even after only 4-months in a humidor. A negative would be that several of the cigars burned unevenly and 2 or 3 were nearly plugged. I have now smoked two boxes of Cuban cigars and my initial reaction is that there is inconsistency in the rolling. For every 4 or 5 cigars with a nice-smooth-even draw and burn you are likely to get 1 that is less than satisfactory.
This rarely happens with higher-end Dominican or Nicaraguan brands. -
Pleasant Smoke !
, 5/4/2017
By Douglas - This cigar was smoked fresh out of the box upon arrival. The bottom of the box had a factory code of MEG, a date code of Oct 15, and the inscription Totalmente a Mano, meaning "totally by hand" or hand-made. It was punched and had good draw, burn and ash for a full 70 minutes. The strength began mild plus with rather uneventful flavors in the first third. The volume of smoke and the strength increased to medium during the remaining 2/3rds and, other than tobacco, there were still no discernible or outstanding flavors. While smokable now, it is said that the flavor(s) will blossom with aging so time in my humidor will tell.

Best small cigar
, 1/12/2017
By Matthew - Not my ideal size, I am more of a Robusto man - but if you're pushed for time (maybe winter has struck and you can't stand the cold) then this is the next best thing. Excellent peppery flavour, that is bigger than it's stature. Every self respecting cigar smoker needs some of these in his/her humidor for the occasion where a quick smoke is required.

By Ronald - They need age to allow the leather to start changing to cream, but one of the most balanced petit coronas.

First H. Upmann
, 3/24/2016
By Michael - Wanted to try this Petit Corona to find out if JFK knew what he was talking about they are a little on the mild side and never compare this cigar to the Cohiba Siglo II but all in all it was a pleasantly surprising smoke and one that may get better with age.
