History & Origins
The Gran Corona is a wider take on the classic Corona format, adding a few ring gauge numbers to create a more generous, slightly cooler smoking experience. This vitola bridges the gap between the traditional elegance of the Corona and the modern preference for wider ring gauges.
Characteristics
Flavour Profile
A balanced, approachable smoke that benefits from the extra ring gauge. More filler tobacco creates a richer, rounder flavour compared to a standard Corona.
Burn & Draw
The wider ring gauge provides a more open, effortless draw than the standard Corona while maintaining elegance.
Ideal For
Smokers transitioning from wider modern formats who want to experience the elegance of a traditional shape.
Construction
A straightforward format for experienced rollers, with enough width to accommodate a well-balanced blend.
