The Perdomo Reserve 10th Anniversary Champagne Corona Extra in 5.63 X 46 offers one of the purest and most focused expressions of the Champagne blend. Slimmer than the Robusto and more direct than the Epicure, the Corona Extra spotlights the exquisitely aged Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper—matured for six years and finished in bourbon barrels—with remarkable clarity. This golden leaf glows softly in the light, carrying aromas of sweet hay, cream, and light cedar even before the cigar touches flame. Inside, Cuban-seed Nicaraguan binder and filler tobaccos provide gentle earthiness, warm sweetness, and a refined backbone. In this slimmer vitola, the wrapper takes center stage, offering a bright, creamy, and naturally sweet Connecticut profile with precision and elegance.

From the first draw, the Corona Extra greets the palate with smooth notes of sweet cream, toasted grain, and soft cedar. The 46-ring gauge intensifies the wrapper’s influence, creating a slightly more concentrated flavor than the larger sizes. In the first third, honey, vanilla, and subtle almond weave together seamlessly, supported by delicate floral hints and the faintest touch of white pepper. The retrohale stays graceful—airy spice, warm bread, and light nutmeg join the aroma without adding bite. Entering the second third, the bourbon-barrel finishing becomes more apparent, offering warm oak, subtle caramel sweetness, and a silky texture that coats the palate. In the final third, the flavor deepens gently: toasted nuts, sweet hay, and a soft mocha undertone emerge, all while retaining the Champagne line’s signature smooth finish. The Corona Extra is an elegant, unhurried companion designed for those who prefer refinement over intensity.

Connecticut Connie says, “This size puts the aged wrapper in the spotlight—creamy, sweet, and beautifully balanced.”
Dominican Don adds, “The Corona Extra delivers the Champagne blend with pinpoint clarity and finesse.”
Vintage Vinny notes, “If you want the cleanest, most focused Connecticut expression, this is the size to choose.”

Though not tied to a specific award year, the Champagne line is widely appreciated for its six-year-aged wrapper, barrel finishing, and consistently smooth construction. The Corona Extra format enhances the blend’s elegance and clarity, offering a refined Connecticut experience centered on flavor precision rather than volume.

Smokers who appreciate the Corona Extra’s direct, creamy profile often explore other vitolas in the Champagne collection. The Perdomo Reserve 10th Anniversary Champagne Robusto provides a slightly richer, broader expression, while the Perdomo Reserve 10th Anniversary Champagne Epicure delivers a generous draw with expanded creaminess. The Perdomo Reserve 10th Anniversary Champagne Churchill offers an extended, elegant evolution of the same blend. These three vitolas create a smooth and cohesive journey through one of Perdomo’s most beloved Connecticut-wrapped cigars—without venturing into the Noir series.
