The Leon Jimenes Petit Corona Blond, also known as Blonde or the Vanilla version, is a mild, vanilla-aromatised handmade cigar from the La Aurora factory in the Dominican Republic. Its compact Petit Corona format brings together light tobacco and a subtle, creamy vanilla character.
Flavour profile
Sweet vanilla leads a smooth, creamy profile, accompanied by cedar, wood, light fruit and marzipan. Gentle spice and caramel undertones add depth without overwhelming the delicate aromatisation. Some versions feature a sweetened tip that adds an initial touch of sweetness.

Tobacco and heritage
Common listings describe a light wrapper, variously identified as Connecticut Shade, Ecuadorian or Sumatra, with predominantly Dominican binder and filler. Exact wrapper and blend origins vary between published specifications and should be confirmed against the supplied stock.
Launched in 1987 as a tribute to the León family founders, the Leon Jimenes brand is known for smooth blends finished with light wrappers.
