About the Por Larranaga Petit Coronas
Founded in Havana in 1834, Por Larranaga is one of the oldest names in Cuban tobacco, long prized by connoisseurs who favor finesse over force. The Petit Coronas captures that heritage in its purest classic form. Rolled in the Marevas vitola, it is a hand made puro built for refined, everyday smoking rather than special occasions, and it has earned a quiet reputation as one of the finest examples of its size in the Habanos portfolio.
Flavor profile by thirds
The opening third leans gentle and inviting, with light honey sweetness, soft cream, and a whisper of caramel that sets a smooth, unhurried tone. Through the middle the smoke gathers a salted caramel richness, joined by toasted tobacco, espresso, and a touch of new leather that gives the cigar a little more presence on the palate. The final third turns toasty and nutty, showing roasted coffee bean, almond, and a recurring coffee like finish that stays balanced and free of harshness all the way down.
Pairings
- A cup of freshly brewed espresso or Cuban coffee to echo the toasted, roasted notes.
- An aged Cuban rum, whose caramel and oak tones sit beautifully alongside the sweetness.
- A lightly peated single malt or a glass of tawny port for a slightly richer, after dinner companion.
Aging and storage
Keep your Petit Coronas in a well seasoned humidor held around 65 to 70 percent relative humidity and roughly 18 degrees Celsius. At those conditions the cigar holds its smooth, creamy character beautifully, and a year or two of patient rest tends to round the edges further, melding the caramel and coffee notes into something even more harmonious. Avoid swings in temperature and humidity, which are the quickest way to disrupt a delicate blend like this one.
Who it is for
This is a cigar for the smoker who appreciates subtlety and balance over raw power. Newcomers will find it approachable thanks to its light to medium body and forgiving smoothness, while seasoned aficionados return to it as a dependable daily Havana that rewards attention without demanding it. If your morning or mid afternoon calls for an unhurried 60 to 75 minute smoke with classic Cuban charm, the Petit Coronas fits perfectly.

Excellent corona from Cuban Cigar. The Por Larranga Cubana Petit Coronas has a refined flavor profile – lots of coffee and cream. Draw was perfect and it burned for about 47 minutes. Only minor complaint is it’s slightly strong for my taste, but overall a great smoke.
