The Leon Jimenes Petit Corona Caribbean (Rum) is a mild, rum-aromatised handmade cigar produced at the La Aurora factory in the Dominican Republic. Its compact Petit Corona format combines light tobacco with a subtle rum character.
Flavour and experience
A smooth, creamy profile opens with rum notes, supported by cedar, molasses and oak. Light tropical fruit, chocolate and leather add depth, with gentle sweetness throughout. The rum aromatisation is balanced with the tobacco rather than overpowering it. Some versions feature a sweetened tip for an extra touch of initial sweetness.
Expect an even burn, reliable draw and a sweet, aromatic room aroma. Allow approximately 20–45 minutes, depending on smoking pace. Rum or coffee makes a complementary pairing.
