Flavor characteristics
The top notes open strongly with dark chocolate, black coffee and red pepper, while the licorice and spice of the Oscuro wrapper instantly ignites the energy; the middle notes advance layer by layer with toasted bread, leather and black pepper, while cocoa powder, caramel and earth intertwine, revealing the warmth of charcoal-grilled meat; the base notes gently close with ebony, smoke and slightly sweet spices, leaving a rich and long finish, like the tranquil echo of mint leather in the afterglow of the sunset.
Origin and wrapper information
Produced with exquisite craftsmanship by the My Father Cigars factory in Nicaragua, this Corona Gorda features a premium Ecuador Habano Oscuro wrapper—deep brown, almost black, with a glossy sheen, thick yet silky smooth. Both the filler and binder are made from carefully selected Nicaraguan mature leaves from the Garcia family. The Corona Gorda's balanced size and graceful proportions, like a subdued string melody, precisely deliver flavor, revealing a full and balanced overall depth layer by layer.
Reasons for recommendation
Cigar Aficionado awarded it 93 points, praising its "layers of deep fruit, earth, and charcoal meat unfolding after the red pepper opening, a robust yet approachable structure, and a silky smooth texture." Halfwheel reviewers lauded it as "a perfect combination of power and balance, with complexity approaching the pinnacle of history, and laser-like precision in burning." Like a miniature symphony forged by a Nicaraguan watchmaker on the black soil of a volcano, this cigar opens with the bass strings of dark chocolate and red pepper, gradually building in the artistry of leather and cocoa, and finally closing with a stunningly deep, smoky, fruity nighttime ambiance. Its overall character is full-bodied yet elegantly submissive—the bittersweet interplay of black coffee and rich chocolate, complemented by the weighty texture of leather and earth and the delicate spiciness of black pepper, creates a flavor feast far exceeding its price range. It is not only the "King of Balance" in the La Imperiosa series, but also the most outstanding and collectible gem in the Crowned Heads brand—owning one is an invitation to immerse oneself in the pinnacle of Nicaraguan puro every day.
