Aladino Petit Corona

The Aladino Petit Corona opens with a classic medium-bodied profile, offering an elegant interplay of sweet cedar, toasted almond, and creamy caramel, accented by a soft white pepper spice that gently lingers on the palate and retrohale. Early draws reveal subtle floral tones, honeyed biscuit, and a touch of vanilla, adding brightness and aromatic lift to the opening. As the cigar progresses into the midsection, richer flavors of roasted cashew, light cocoa powder, and warm baking spice emerge, supported by a smooth, silky texture that keeps the balance refined. The final third introduces espresso crema, charred oak, and a faint molasses sweetness, finishing clean, mellow, and satisfyingly warm.

The Honduran Corojo wrapper displays a warm, golden-brown hue with a gentle oil sheen, expertly applied over a Honduran binder and a core of 100% authentic Corojo fillers grown in the JRE Tobacco Farm in the Jamastran Valley. The petit corona format is rolled with precision, featuring a firm, even pack and a neat cap that ensures a consistent draw despite the smaller ring gauge. The pre-light aroma offers sweet hay, cedar, and marzipan, while the cold draw delivers creamy wood, mild spice, and a hint of honey. Upon lighting, the burn remains straight and controlled, producing aromatic clouds of smoke and holding pale gray ash in tight stacks.

The ideal whisky pairing for this cigar is Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban 14 Year, whose port-cask richness, dark chocolate notes, and berry sweetness enhance the Aladino’s nut, cocoa, and gentle spice while adding depth to its creamy core.

This cigar has an aging potential of 5–8 years, during which the spice will soften, the sweetness will integrate more fully, and the nut and cocoa elements will round out into an even smoother, more cohesive expression.

Overall, the Aladino Petit Corona is a refined, flavor-focused Honduran puro that delivers classic Corojo character in a compact format, making it ideal for moments when time is short but the desire for complexity and balance remains.
