Corona sized Cigar Recommendations??

11-09-2008, 08:06 AM

I started smoking cigars regularly about a year ago.

For whatever reason I gravitated toward Robustos fairly quickly and still enjoy that size. Recently, I have tried some coronas (Tats, Padillas, SP's) that I liked as much as their robusto counterparts.

I was wondering what other corona smokes could be recommended by you folks?

For non-Cuban cigars, I especially like the La Aroma de Cuba Coronas

One of my favorite corona's is the Partagas Black Label corona. At 5.5 x 45 I think it has all the punch and flavor of it's bigger RG brothers.

my favorite type of corona is the corona gorda. so i'll definitely recommend you these ....

La Riqueza Corona Gorda (#3)
Tatuaje Series P1
Coronado (La Flor Dominicana)
Asthon VSG (probably my favorite corona gorda)

some coronas i enjoyed ....

In addition to Peter's comment, I would add the following:

Bolivar Cofradia Cuban Corona
Taboo Dominican Maduro Corona

Others include Hirsh y Garcia Corona and AF Don Carlos #4 although it may technically be a PC.

My favorite size would have to be the Corona Gorda it has the perfect wrapper filler ratio

bobarian · 11-09-2008, 08:57 PM

La Aurora 1495
JdN Antano Machito
JdN Celebracion Corona
LFD DL Chiselito
Litto Gomez Oriental
Padilla Miami 8&11 Corona
PAM
Cabaiguan Guapos Jr

It's a corona gorda (5 5/8" X 46) but I like the Illusione CG:4.

5 Vegas Classic (red label). Discovered about 1/2 a box of these buried in the bottom of the cooler, probably about 1.5 yrs. Awesome smoke and a perfect example of a NC that improves with a little age. Cheap too!
