Our Master Tobacconist Experience
Our staff frequently turns to the H. Upmann Original Petit Corona when time is short but the craving for classic Dominican refinement remains strong, and it never disappoints with its concentrated elegance. The cold draw teases creamy cedar, nutty sweetness, and faint floral spice. Upon lighting, the first third unfolds with prominent **creamy cedar**, roasted almonds, cream, leather hints, and mild white pepper, delivering a smooth, balanced start with exceptional draw. Moving into the second third, the profile gains elegant depth with richer notes of dark cocoa, honey sweetness, toasted oak, and sustained nuttiness as the Dominican tobaccos harmonize beautifully in the short format. The final third intensifies smoothly to bolder leather, espresso-like notes, woody earth, lingering sweet spice, and a clean, refined finish that leaves the palate satisfied. This medium-full, 35 to 55 minute smoke offers flawless construction, even burn, and remarkable complexity that far exceeds its petite dimensions. For more on H. Upmann’s signature Dominican blending and the Original line, see this excellent overview from Cigar Aficionado.
