Flavor profile

Earthy · Sweet · Creamy · Spice

The Petit Coronas is a quintessential mild Cuban — a Mareva-format cigar at 5.1 inches by a 42 ring gauge, made from Vuelta Abajo tobacco. It's the kind of unfussy Havana that has anchored H. Upmann's range for decades.

What it tastes like

This is a balanced, easygoing smoke with earthy and woody notes, a creamy texture, and subtle hints of cocoa and gentle spice. Mildness is its calling card — there's real Cuban flavor here, but it arrives soft and approachable rather than bold. The roughly 25-minute burn makes it a perfect short break.

Who it's for

One of the friendliest entry points into Cuban cigars: light enough for beginners, classic enough for traditionalists, and quick enough for a coffee break. If you're just starting out, this is a great place to learn what Havana tobacco tastes like. Pair it with coffee or espresso.

When you want a touch more body, step up to the Coronas Major or the medium Connoisseur No.1. New to the leaf? Our cigar strength guide explains where "mild" sits. Log it and rate it in the Casa DNC app.
