Explore Quintero
Every Coronas Selectas is guaranteed 100% authentic, sourced directly from Habanos S.A. with the official seal and full traceability from Vuelta Abajo to your door.
Quintero stands apart from most Habanos for a simple reason: it was not born in Havana. Founder Agustin Quintero established the marque in Cienfuegos, the elegant southern port known as the Pearl of the South, giving the brand a heritage rooted outside the capital. Today the Coronas Selectas carries that legacy forward as a classic Corona, built from Vuelta Abajo tobacco and rolled in the totalmente a mano tradition. It is positioned as an accessible gateway into genuine Cuban flavor, a cigar that delivers the unmistakable Habano signature and invites daily enjoyment rather than special occasions.
The opening third leans into rustic, earthy tobacco with a grassy edge that feels very much of the Cuban countryside. As the burn settles into the second third, soft cedar and a quiet coffee sweetness emerge, while medium body keeps everything balanced and approachable on the palate. Through the final third the smoke gains a touch of warm spice and a faintly nutty depth, never turning harsh, closing out the way a well-made everyday Habano should.
Like most short-filler Habanos, the Coronas Selectas is built to be enjoyed reasonably fresh rather than cellared for decades, though a few months of rest helps the flavors marry and rounds off any youthful sharpness. Keep your cigars in a seasoned humidor held around 65 to 70 percent relative humidity and roughly 18 degrees Celsius. Steady conditions protect the wrapper and preserve the medium, balanced profile that makes this Corona so easy to reach for.
This is a cigar for the practical smoker who wants real Cuban character on a regular basis. Newcomers appreciate its medium strength and forgiving nature, while seasoned aficionados keep a box on hand for the morning coffee, the yard work break, or any moment that calls for an honest Habano rather than a showpiece. If you value authentic Vuelta Abajo flavor and an everyday character over prestige, the Coronas Selectas belongs in your rotation.

Good cigar but expected a bit more for the price. The Cuban Cigar Coronas Selectas delivered on flavor (honey and tobacco) and construction, but lacked the complexity I was hoping for. Solid smoke, just not outstanding. Still enjoyable.
