Corona-ish sized cigars

Nathan · 07-31-2012, 08:10 PM

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

mkarnold1 · 07-31-2012, 08:23 PM

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.

Forgot about this one, I agree.

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...

lenguamor · 07-31-2012, 11:07 PM

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

PuffPuffGive1 · 07-31-2012, 11:41 PM

Liga Privada Undercrown Viva Corona is pretty good

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!

These are amazing

TJtorpedo · 08-01-2012, 06:26 PM

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.

lenguamor · 08-01-2012, 08:04 PM

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

REALMCCOY · 09-09-2012, 05:30 PM

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.

kuzi16 · 09-09-2012, 09:55 PM

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

icehog3 · 09-09-2012, 10:02 PM

Tampa Sweethearts #24 is a nice inexpensive choice.

N2 GOLD · 09-09-2012, 10:15 PM

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

That's just me...

DaBear · 09-10-2012, 09:10 AM

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
