About the Partagas Petit Corona
The Partagas Petit Corona is one of the most dependable smokes in the storied Partagas portfolio, a marca founded in Havana in 1845 and famous for its full, earthy character. Rolled in the classic Mareva format at 5.6″ by 42 ring gauge and presented in a dress box of 25, this petit corona packs the muscular flavor Partagas built its name on into a compact, manageable size. It is the kind of cigar that rewards anyone who loves bold Cuban tobacco but does not always have an hour to spare.
Flavor profile by thirds
The opening third arrives with the trademark Partagas signature of black pepper and cedar, backed by a savory earthiness that grounds the whole experience. Through the middle the smoke broadens and softens slightly, letting leather, dark coffee, and a touch of cream weave together while the spice settles into the background. By the final third the cigar tightens its grip again, pushing forward a deeper tobacco core, lingering pepper, and a robust, full-bodied finish that confirms its reputation.
Pairings
- Aged Cuban or Caribbean rum, whose dark sugar and oak echo the cigar’s leather and coffee notes
- A pour of single malt whisky, where peat and spice meet the peppery Partagas core head on
- Strong black espresso or Cuban coffee for an afternoon smoke that amplifies the earthy, roasted tones
Aging and storage
Like most full-bodied Habanos, the Petit Corona benefits from patience. Kept in a seasoned humidor held around 65 to 70 percent relative humidity and roughly 18 degrees Celsius, the youthful pepper and edge mellow over a year or two, allowing the cedar and sweeter creamy notes to come forward. Even straight from the box these smoke well, but a little rest in stable conditions brings noticeable refinement and balance.
Who it is for
This is a cigar for the smoker who already enjoys strength and is not looking for anything timid. Newcomers to full-bodied Cuban tobacco may find it intense, particularly on an empty stomach, so it suits established palates best. For seasoned aficionados it offers a quick yet satisfying way to enjoy genuine Partagas power without committing to a larger vitola.
