Contrary to popular belief the Petit Corona is not a light cigar it is definitely Medium a good start and a good end i never smoke the last inch to inch 1/2 , so the body has a very peppery, earthy taste top to bottom but a nice warm finish coating the palate unlike its rival the mille fleur (in my opinion) i would by a box of these a nice smoke but for the length of the cigar id say its a quick smoke on the whole beautiful would recommend.
