A double corona is a large, formal cigar built for a long, leisurely smoke. It runs roughly 7.5 to 8 inches by a 49 to 52 ring gauge, combining real length with a substantial thickness, which can mean two hours or more from light to finish. That size gives a blend the room to move through several distinct phases, and the generous ring gauge keeps the smoke cool and smooth along the way. The double corona is a classic special-occasion format, not an everyday quick smoke. Browse the double coronas below when you have the time to give one its due.
