Montecristo Media Corona

Montecristo Media Corona – Full Cuban Character in Half the Time

The Montecristo Media Corona is a compact Cuban Habano introduced in 2015, built for smokers who want the brand’s signature character without a long session. Hand-rolled from Cuban long-filler tobacco, it measures just 90 mm (3.5″) with a 44 ring gauge, factory-named the Half Corona.

The short body concentrates the blend, so flavors arrive quickly and intensify within the first few minutes. It is a medium-bodied smoke that firms up toward a fuller finish, delivering roughly 30 minutes of steady Cuban flavor.
