The Por Larrañaga Petit Coronas presents itself with a smooth colorado wrapper and a solid fill, measuring 129 mm by 42 ring gauge in the petite corona (marevas) format.
At the cold draw, fresh wood and earthy notes greet the senses, paired with a well-balanced draw.
The first third begins with a voluminous smoke offering gently toasted and woody flavors, carrying a moderate body. Both draw and combustion are perfectly tuned. Notably, the peppery notes that could sometimes dominate in previous years have mellowed this season.
The second third sees little change in flavor but remains pleasant and comfortably balanced, with a slight increase in strength.
In the final third, earthiness takes the lead, culminating in a powerful but not overwhelming finish—save for the very last puffs.
Conclusion: This aromatic petit corona easily holds on to its four-band rating. With a strong price-to-pleasure ratio and well-managed strength, it stands as a fine gateway into the world of Cuban cigars.
