History & Origins
The Petit Corona is a shorter version of the classic Corona, offering similar proportions in a more compact format. Known as the Mareva in Cuban factory terminology, this vitola has become one of the most popular sizes for everyday smoking, providing a full flavour experience in a shorter time.
Characteristics
Flavour Profile
Similar balance to the Corona but in a more concentrated package. The shorter length means flavours build to richness more quickly.
Burn & Draw
Identical draw characteristics to the Corona, with a firm but comfortable pull. Slightly warmer smoke in the final third due to shorter length.
Ideal For
The perfect lunch-break or coffee cigar. Quick enough for a 30-minute window but satisfying enough to feel complete.
Construction
Uses the same 42 ring gauge as the Corona, maintaining the classic wrapper-to-filler ratio in a shorter format.
