The verdict
The Undercrown Sun Grown Corona is a richer, medium-to-full smoke from Drew Estate's Undercrown Sun Grown line. It's a Nicaragua (New World) corona gorda wrapped in Ecuadorian Sumatra (Sun Grown) at 5.63 in × 46.
On the palate, expect cedar, dark coffee, and white pepper, leaning earthy. Plan on roughly 60 minutes from light to nub.
It pairs naturally with coffee, aged rum, and amber ale. If you're newer to cigars, work up to this one rather than starting here.
The Corona size takes Undercrown Sun Grown into a slimmer 5 5/8 x 46. With less filler relative to the wrapper, the sun-grown leaf gets more say — meaning a touch more spice and a crisper, more focused smoke.
What it tastes like
The recipe holds steady: an Ecuadorian Sumatra sun-grown wrapper, a Connecticut River Valley stalk-cut Habano binder, and an all-Nicaraguan filler. The narrower body sharpens the experience into cedar, dark coffee, white pepper, and cinnamon, with the wrapper's natural sweetness threading through. Medium-to-full and zesty, it's a lively, flavor-packed choice for a shorter session.
Who it's for
A spicy, sweet everyday cigar for intermediate smokers who like a slimmer, more traditional ring gauge. Pair it with coffee, aged rum, or an amber ale.
