The Rocky Patel Grand Reserve Half Corona is presented in convenient packs of 5 and is crafted exclusively for international markets at the Tavicusa factory in Nicaragua. It uses the same carefully guarded blend of aged tobaccos as the larger vitolas, featuring a Nicaraguan binder, a mix of Honduran and Nicaraguan long fillers, and an Ecuadorian wrapper, delivering a rich and well-balanced profile in a shorter format.

This 3 1/2 x 44 half corona offers a medium to full-bodied experience over approximately 25 to 35 minutes. It opens with notes of creamy dried fruit, chocolate sweetness, woody leather and roasted nuts, with a subtle tea-like bitterness adding structure. As the cigar progresses, flavours develop into café latte, gentle herbal spice, salted caramel, liquorice and a savoury depth, leading to a smooth and refined finish.

Despite its smaller size, it maintains the excellent construction, even burn and consistent draw the Grand Reserve line is known for. Delivering impressive complexity and balance in a compact format, the Half Corona is ideal for those seeking a shorter yet equally rewarding smoking experience.
