The Montecristo Media Corona is a compact gem in the Montecristo lineup, measuring just 90mm with a 44-ring gauge. This Half-Corona vitola, reintroduced in 2015, provides a bold yet balanced experience in a short format, perfect for moments when time is limited. Handmade using premium Vuelta Abajo tobacco, the Media Corona features a warm brown wrapper and showcases Montecristo’s signature craftsmanship.
Upon lighting, the Media Corona reveals a rich palette of flavors, starting with notes of nuts, honey, and almond, which evolve to include hints of chocolate and subtle spices. Despite its size, this cigar surprises with medium-to-full body intensity, making it feel like a longer, more complex smoke. Its shorter length doesn’t compromise the experience; each draw delivers depth and richness, encouraging a slow savoring of its layers.
Ideal for a 30-minute escape, the Montecristo Media Corona is robust yet refined, embodying Montecristo’s legacy of quality and strength in a compact format. This cigar is a must-try for aficionados seeking classic Cuban flavors in a shorter, convenient smoke.
