The Montecristo Media Corona delivers all the flavour, depth and craftsmanship of Montecristo in a compact and convenient format. Media Corona translates as “Half Corona”, a size first introduced in the UK in 1907 by an English importer seeking a shorter cigar he could enjoy before the theatre without keeping his wife waiting.
This shorter format quickly gained immense popularity, becoming one of the most sought-after vitolas in the 1920s and 1930s — accounting for an estimated one in every thirty Havana cigars sold in the UK. Though it eventually faded from the market, the size was reintroduced by H. Upmann in 2011 and now finds a distinguished home within Montecristo’s celebrated range.
Handcrafted from the finest Vuelta Abajo tobaccos, the Media Corona offers a medium to full-bodied experience filled with rich notes of earth, cocoa, spice and sweet wood. At just 3½ inches long, it remains the shortest long-filler handmade Cuban cigar available, offering an exceptional 20-minute smoke — perfect for any occasion.
Presented in a stylish tin of five cigars, the Montecristo Media Corona is ideal for travel, gifting or enjoying on the move, without compromising on quality or flavour.
