Undercrown Shade Corona

The Corona format puts Undercrown Shade into a slimmer, more classic shape: 5 5/8 x 46. The narrower ring gauge favors the wrapper, giving this creamy blend a slightly crisper, more elegant edge than the fatter sizes.

What it tastes like

It's the same lush recipe — a tawny Ecuador Connecticut Shade wrapper, a Sumatra binder, and Dominican and Nicaraguan fillers — but the thinner body sharpens the focus. Expect cream, cashew, toast, light oak, and a touch of pepper, with the wrapper's smooth sweetness front and center. Mild-to-medium and beautifully balanced, it's a refined choice for a shorter sit.

Who it's for

A lovely everyday Connecticut for smokers who prefer a traditional, slimmer ring gauge — and friendly enough for beginners. Pair it with morning coffee, a light lager, or iced tea.
