Corona-ish sized cigars
 

I have determined the corona size is my favorite vitola. I find I never have the time for a larger cigar and this size fits my schedule. Also I spend time traveling by airplane so I only carry a bic, these little guys are easy to light with a soft flame and they smoke well in the wind. I always bring around a travel humidor with smokes I want to have, the smaller cigars always get smoked and I've been carrying some larger ones around for months.

I am right in between two vacations, once all of the bills are settled I might have a little extra cash to pick up some fivers. What should I try? I've had and enjoyed the Illusione MK, Tatuaje Black Petite Lancero, Oliva V #4, Partagas Short, Bolivar PC and Fuente Short Story. I'd prefer NC suggestions because I can buy fivers of them while CC I gotta get a whole box.

I have always liked the Tat Noella and the Room 101 OSOK Filero

Re: Corona-ish sized cigars
 

I like the tat la casita criolla in the corona size. A nice change of pace, with some sweetness to it. C-bid usually has them for about $4 a stick.

Re: Corona-ish sized cigars
 

Forgot about this one, I agree.

Re: Corona-ish sized cigars
 

My fave Coronaish cigars (that can actually be purchased at this point, or VERY soon in the future):

EPC NWC Stella
Fuego Origen Original
Liga Privada Dirty Rat
Liga Privada Papa Fritas
La Palina Kill Bill
Cuenca y Blanco Corona
Tatuaje PCR
Illusione mkULTRA

More as I think of them...

Re: Corona-ish sized cigars
 

La Aurora Cameroon coronas; or the corojo if you prefer. And there's a maduro as well.

Re: Corona-ish sized cigars
 

Liga Privada Undercrown Viva Corona is pretty good

Re: Corona-ish sized cigars
 

I have enjoyed these recently...
MOW Puro Authentico
MOW Little Devil
San Cristobal Fransisco
Alec Bradley Tempus Genesis

Re: Corona-ish sized cigars
 

Doug you hit it on the head right there. That stick is a sleeper!

Id like to Add to the list the:

MOW Puro Authentico Maduro
Room 101 Namakubi Papi Chulo
La Reloba Sumatra Corona (OR) I think the blend has changed
originally these were strong as s**t! (but you can try a 5er
from a new shipment and you may get the same experience)
601 Green Corona i believe this line is discontinuing so you may
want to actually buy a box!

Re: Corona-ish sized cigars
 

These are amazing

Re: Corona-ish sized cigars
 

Another vote for the Alec Bradley Tempus Genesis! A great little stick that seems to fly under the radar.

Not really corona sizes, but the Nestor Miranda Coffee Break and the Padron 2000 maduro are smallish and don't take long to smoke. I love both of these when time is a concern.

Re: Corona-ish sized cigars
 

Padron Londres, either natural or maduro is a GREAT petit.

Re: Corona-ish sized cigars
 

Bought a few Corona Clown Car samplers from CI. The ones I enjoyed the most are only available from that sampler as far as I know. The Diesel, 5 Vegas AAA, and Puro Authentico which I am really glad I also bought a box of. Very unique. Only wish the maduro version was available at the time of my annual bulk order. I really like NC Punch natural London Club as well.

Re: Corona-ish sized cigars
 

im a big fan of the Davidoff 2000. that is my second favorite davidoff and my favorite corona of any brand.

Re: Corona-ish sized cigars
 

Tampa Sweethearts #24 is a nice inexpensive choice.

Re: Corona-ish sized cigars
 

I love Padron Del's & 2K's... :ss

That's just me...

Re: Corona-ish sized cigars
 

La Sirena Sea Sprites pack a nice little kick
Dunhill Signature Coronas are a nice morning/midday smoke
Tat Petit Cazadores, one of the best go tos IMO for a quick little smoke
Tat 7th *insert whatever wrapper suits your fancy here*, another good one
El Triunfiador (can't remember the sizes, but most of them aren't much bigger if at all than a corona)
My Father El Picadors, always a good standby for when I can't decide what I want at work

Re: Corona-ish sized cigars
 

These in the softpacks. I swear these are one of the best deals out there right now. LOVE them.

Re: Corona-ish sized cigars
 

romeo y julieta reserva real verona's court tubo I swear if you did not know it was nc you would think it was a cc very smooth and creamy with that cuban taste.
and the size is perfect the corona is the same size probably the same cigar with out the tubo my :2

Re: Corona-ish sized cigars
 

(Holts) Old Henry, Maduro and Natural. These are blended and made by Pepin.
also the Holts Connoisseur Selection, also by Pepin.
San Cristobal Francisco.
Epernay Le Elegance.
Pepin Blue, Preferido.

Re: Corona-ish sized cigars
 

I seriously doubt that.

Re: Corona-ish sized cigars
 

cabaiguan corona extra

Re: Corona-ish sized cigars
 

I'm newer to the "little guy" world, but am finding that I really enjoy them a lot.

So far, my favorites have been:

PDR 1878 Maduro corona. Very nice little stick.
Oliva V #4
Undercrown Corona Viva
MUWaT Baitfish
Liga Privada Dirty Rat <-my absolute favorite
Tatuaje Petit Cazadores Reserva
Tatuaje Noella


Has anyone tried the La Vieja Habana maduro corona? I heard good things, but haven't bought any yet.

Re: Corona-ish sized cigars
 

X2...love the londres and panetela in either. I also like Upmann Majestic with age, Avo purito, cabaiguan, and Avo XO preludio 6x40

Re: Corona-ish sized cigars
 

Ooh, good call. I forgot about the Padron Londres, that maduro is fantastic.

Re: Corona-ish sized cigars
 

Oliva has the Serie O in a #4 that's very good. I also like their Connecticut reserve PC. And the Serie G has the Special G which is a figurado but fits your time needs. The Special G is actually my favorite size of the Serie G.

Re: Corona-ish sized cigars
 

I'd add the Tat Havana VI Angeles to the list.

Re: Corona-ish sized cigars
 

Cannot speak more highly of these. The Undercrown viva Corona is a great smoke and only run about 7 per.

Re: Corona-ish sized cigars
 

Lot of good suggestions above. I'd add the Cain Daytona, which comes in a corona size

Re: Corona-ish sized cigars
 

I wish they would make this a regular release. All I really smoke anymore are corona/PC. I missed that special release a year or so ago. I saw CI has the Oliva V Melanio in this size. Has anyone tried this blend?

Re: Corona-ish sized cigars
 

Agreed. Damned fine short smoke. :tu

Re: Corona-ish sized cigars
 

I am a big fan of the VSG Tres Mystique perfect for about half an hour of slow enjoyment
4.3x44

Re: Corona-ish sized cigars
 

Something tells me you like pepin blends bro! ;)

Re: Corona-ish sized cigars
 

Monte 4 Reservas
Festival Marevas
1994 Cohiba Siglo II's

;);)

Re: Corona-ish sized cigars
 

Pepin does roll a lot of corona size cigars - most of them are pretty dang good for the price. I have boxes of the Havana VIs and Reserva coronas, and both are excellent. The brown Tatuajes that are US rolled have a nice kick to 'em too.

Ill second the Sig IIs!

Re: Corona-ish sized cigars
 

The most surprising cigar I have had in a while, Lou Rodriguez Connecticut corona. A very good cigar.

Re: Corona-ish sized cigars
 

Smoking one right now. Really good. Actually worth the price imho.

Re: Corona-ish sized cigars
 

We have some of the V #4s in stock at work if you're still lookin for some, and actually have more on the way according to our Oliva rep.

And to stay on topic, I'd add the Four Kicks Seleccion No. 5, though its more of a lonsdale.

Re: Corona-ish sized cigars
 

good to know, about to smoke my only one do I might be hitting you up if I enjoy it

Re: Corona-ish sized cigars
 

Had a davidoff 2000 this weekend, and a 3x3 today. I was thoroughly impressed with the 3x3 in comparison and will e ordering a bundle.
