7-20-4 1874 Series Corona Especial 5 ½ × 42 (صندوق من 20)

The draw is perfect from the first light, and that medium-bodied Nicaraguan blend stays smooth all the way to the nub. I’ve smoked a lot of coronas, but these 5 ½ x 42s have a balance that makes the hour feel shorter than it is.

The construction on these is flawless—the wrapper has a nice oily sheen and the draw is just right. A smooth, medium-bodied smoke that really lets the earthy notes shine through.

The burn stayed razor-sharp from the first draw to the last, and that medium-bodied Nicaraguan profile was exactly the kind of smooth, earthy smoke I wanted for a quiet evening. The 5 ½ x 42 vitola feels perfectly balanced in the hand, not too thick, not too thin. I’ve already ordered another box.
