CAO Cameroon Corona cigars were first introduced in 1999 and have received ratings as high as '92,' which is why these box-pressed cigars from Nicaragua are sure to satisfy the full-flavor-loving palate. The vintage Cameroon wrappers perfectly complement the rich Nicaraguan filler and binder for a taste that's been described as 'smooth from start-to-finish' with complex flavors and an equally complex aroma with scents of cocoa, coffee bean and cedar.

This size completes the five brand formats chosen for marketing the new Vegar Robaina brand. Compared with the "Clasicos" (Cervantes Format), it apparently has greater strength and concertration of flavor as it gets smoked, but this is only due to its 20 mm. less (3/4 of an inch). A very good Habano for whatever time of the day.

Ashton Corona cigars are made from a unique blend of select, specially-aged Dominican leaves and surrounded by smooth-smoking Connecticut shade-grown wrappers. Made in the Dominican Republic by Arturo Fuente, Ashton Corona cigars have a mild, creamy draw and are always consistent in flavor and aroma. Preferred by cigar smokers of every experience worldwide, if you really do appreciate fine cigars, Ashton Corona is a certified 'must try!'

The Sancho Panza brand follows the best traditions of the size range. This Corona is somewhat more refined than other sizes from the brand, but only in appearance. The Sanchos must be taken for what thay are: the salt of the earth

Although the Coronas Extra might have two more gauge points, wich make a smoker of great cigars stand out, this Corona from Bolivar is a magnificent example of the fact that the brand has not forgotten anything. Progressive aroma and flavor, excellent texture, unhurried draw and good combustion. A very good Habano for any time of day

It distinguishes itself from the other Robustos because of its texture, which is spongier, and the perfect finish. It lacks the strength of the Cohibas, but it is superior to the Upmanns. A great Habano from Hoyo de Monterrey that should not be missing from the cellar of true enthusiast.

The new generation Habano that is leading the market. Its refined presentation is the logical finish in accordance with its good texture, blend and origin. It is the Corona Gorga par excellence. A Hoyo de Monterrey that opens the way for what will be the Habano of the future.

This Corona from Hoyo de Monterrey seems to contradict the capricious choice of formats of this range. It is perhaps the junction between the traditional Habano and those of the new generation. It has very similar features and qualities to the Corona from Saint Luis Rey.

The smallest of the Hoyos Especiales, this Habano may be considered a noble little cigar. It is easy to smoke, has rapid combustion and -melts in your mouth- just like a good canape, An excellent cigar within its format

For those who like the Grandes de España or the Lanceros by Cohiba, this Hoyo de Monterrey has the same gague, but amost half in length. It is the ideal Habano when time is short. Due to its special format it is somewhat spongier, meaning easier draw and combustion

One of the best Prominentes of the size range, like almost all the Hoyo de Monterrey formats, it is excellent, oily, robust and with powerfull flavor and aroma. This Doble Corona (Double Corona) has been, in a manner of speaking, the root that has fed all the new generation Habanos. Spongier than the Lusitanias and the Doble coronas from Punch, it also seems bigger when in the hand.

This Habano has very special qualities: regarding its brand, it is the axis around which the whole Hoyo line revolves, which is to say, the firstmedium-gauge new-generation Habanos, regarding the Coronas Grandes, it has learnt how to leap forward into the future. But not only these Habanos are of new generation: the cigar makers that manufacture them are, too. We are in the presence of one of the Habanos that will mark, along with the Epicures, a newera.

It is difficult to find a better Churchill than that of the Hoyo de Monterrey brand. The tradition of this brand, one of the most prestigious of the cuban size range, requires care in its manufacture, which is only in the hands of the best cigar makers. Like all those of this brand, its flavor has that saline aftertaste that we always like to find in good cigars. If a definition was needed of a cigar's flavor, Hoyo de Monterrey is where that rare mixture is most appreciable - sweet and salty at the same time- a rare and exquisite combination, product of the very special soil of Vuelta Abajo.

This size evidences all the soft and complex essence that characterizes the brand, this time in the powerful and attractive Piramide size.

Received year after year with great acceptance, the Limited Edition distinguishes itself for the inclusion of sizes which are not part of the usual range of the brand, and is characterized by a special manufacture. The careful selection of a two-year aged wrapper from the upper level of the plant grants it a darker color and turns this product into something unique.
