Flavor characteristics

The opening notes open with creamy peanuts and light citrus, followed by subtle greetings from cedar and lemon peel; the middle notes gradually unfold with cinnamon, salty nuts, and slightly bitter coffee, like the composed progression at the negotiating table; the base notes gently conclude with milk chocolate and vanilla bean, leaving an elegant aftertaste of minty coolness.

Origin and wrapper information

Born in Joya de Nicaragua, Nicaragua—the oldest cigar factory in Latin America. The light gold Ecuador Connecticut Shade has a smooth and delicate wrapper, once specially selected for diplomats; the Petit Corona is the size of a "diplomatic passport" carried in the past, short but enough to exude its full elegance in any formal occasion.

Reasons for recommendation

Cigar Aficionado awarded it a high score of 92 in 2021, praising its "exquisite balance of flavors, like diplomatic rhetoric, with a lingering creaminess and minerality." Halfwheel lauded its watchmaking precision in burning, with a steady and composed progression of layers. Like an overture to a bass string symphony, or the intimate aftertaste of an embassy dinner, this cigar opens with creamy peanuts and citrus sunshine, gradually building up with cinnamon and coffee, and finally closing with the deep nighttime notes of vanilla and mint. Its overall character is light yet imbued with the profound wisdom of a diplomat. It is not only the "diplomatic crown" of the Número Uno series, but also the only truly legendary cigar in the history of Joya de Nicaragua that has served heads of state and ambassadors—suitable for any occasion requiring understated yet impactful service: a morning sip, a business break, or the ultimate gift for political and business elites. To own one is to own an elegant footnote to a chapter of Latin American diplomatic history.
