Highclere Castle Edwardian Petite Corona 5" * 42

The Highclere Castle Petite Corona was developed as an homage to a cigar that was popular during the early 20th Century but with a contemporary blend. This lovely corona sports a light-brown Connecticut Shade wrapper expertly placed over a Brazilian Mata Fina binder. The filler’s tobacco consists of a special blend of Nicaraguan Criollo- and Corojo-seeds from Jalapa and Ometepe. Plus, leaves from exclusive hybrid seeds the manufacturer calls Nicadán. Handmade in Nicaragua, the Highclere Castle cigar offers a mild to medium bodied smoking experience with a smooth creaminess accompanied by peppery and fruity notes.
