Corona Cigars

The corona is the classic: about five and a half inches with a 42 ring gauge, the proportion other sizes are measured against. A slimmer ring puts the wrapper forward, so flavor arrives quickly and clearly.

What is a corona cigar?

A corona is a straight-sided cigar of roughly five to six inches with a ring gauge around 42 to 44. Ring gauge is the diameter in 64ths of an inch, so a 42 is just under two-thirds of an inch across. It is one of the oldest named sizes, and many makers still build a blend around it.

How a corona smokes

With less filler than wider sizes, the wrapper carries more of the flavor, and a blend shows its character from the first draw. It rewards a slow pace: puffing quickly heats the smoke. Most smokers take about forty to fifty minutes.

When to reach for one

A lunch break, a short walk, the first cigar of a weekend. If you are meeting a blend for the first time, the corona is the honest way to do it.
