Sungrown Half Corona

A. Flores 1975 Gran Reserva Sungrown · 3.5 × 46 Half Corona

The signature series bearing the blender's name:PDR Cigars was founded by renowned Dominican blender Abraham "Abe" Flores in the tobacco hub of Tamboril. As the workshop's flagship masterpiece, "A. Flores 1975" is named after the founder and his birth year, 1975, embodying his decades of expertise in blending aged tobacco leaves from multiple countries. Its classic recipe has repeatedly earned high scores from Cigar Aficionado and made it onto annual lists.

Ecuadorian sun-grown leaves and traditional leaf-binding techniques:The Gran Reserva Sungrown is wrapped in a glossy, reddish-brown Ecuadorian sun-grown Habano leaf, lined with fragrant Dominican Olor leaves, and filled with a delicate blend of deeply aged Dominican Corojo and Nicaraguan Habano long filler leaves. The workshop continues to use the traditional Cuban Entubado (tubular) hand-rolling process and seals it with a triple cap, maintaining uniform micro-airways between the tobacco leaves for a smooth, pure smoke and an even, consistent burn.

The compact 46-ring golden short cigar:Although this Half Corona measures only 3.5 inches in length, it breaks new ground with a wider 46-ring design. The generous ring size effectively prevents the overheating common in short cigars, allowing the complex aromas of Dominican and Nicaraguan tobacco leaves in the filler to unfold leisurely, delivering uncompromisingly delicate layers in just about half an hour.

Product Highlights

  • Ecuadorian sun-grown Habano wrapper:Ample highland sunlight gives the leaves a rich natural oil and a mildly sweet, spicy aroma, with a warm color and excellent visual and olfactory appeal.
  • Traditional Cuban Entubado leaf-binding process:Hand-rolled tubular long filler leaves combined with a triple cap provide a smooth, natural draw, allowing the short size to still deliver a full, creamy smoke.
  • 3.5 × 46 wide-ring Half Corona ratio:The 46 ring size effectively balances the burn temperature, steadily releasing aged flavors during a short 25 to 35-minute smoke, making it ideal for commuting, lunch breaks, or fast-paced leisure.
  • The golden balance of Dominican and Nicaraguan tobacco:The warm woody aroma of Dominican tobacco combines with the roasted spice notes of Nicaraguan tobacco, maintaining a medium strength that is balanced, rounded, and approachable.

Flavor in Three Acts

Act I · Roasted Nuts and Cedar Opening

The cold draw offers fresh hay and delicate woody aromas. Once lit, the smoke is full and smooth, with the Dominican Olor binder and aged filler leaves first releasing warm cedar and roasted almond notes. The Ecuadorian sun-grown wrapper adds a bright touch of white pepper spice and orange peel fragrance on the palate for a clean, natural opening.

Act II · Creamy Texture and Coffee Fusion

In the middle, the creamy texture of the smoke becomes even more pronounced. The initial pepper notes gradually recede, giving way to a complex aroma of roasted coffee beans, whole wheat biscuits, and soft leather. The sun-grown wrapper's distinctive caramel sweetness emerges on the finish, complementing the underlying woody tones with clear layers and an approachable character.

Act III · Warm Woody Finish

As it nears the end, the flavor remains comfortably in the medium strength range. Dark-roasted woody notes, cocoa powder, and mild spices like nutmeg take center stage. The 46 ring size and tubular leaf-binding maintain excellent temperature control through the final smoke, leaving a clean, warm finish and a leisurely, complete smoking experience in just half an hour.
