- Rustic in appearance, this cigar is covered in a toothy, oily maduro wrapper, but offers a pleasant, medium-bodied smoke redolent of dried fruit, vanilla bean and toast. An excellent offering from the Fuente Family.

In the late 19th century, Arturo Fuente learned the fine art of growing and processing tobacco in the Cuban tradition. Today, the Fuente family oversees more than 500 rollers who produce almost 30 million cigars every year.
Sometimes change is necessary. Carlos Fuente, Jr. understood that customer’s tastes are ever-evolving. He decided to replace the wrapper on the Gran Reserva Natural line with a silky, US Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapper, resulting in a rich smoking experience. The Maduro wrapper encapsulates the classic aged Fuente tobaccos, and this change only serves to improve the medium bodied cigar with toasty flavors and a slightly sweet finish.
The Arturo Fuente Gran Reserva Cuban Corona Maduro is rich, dark in appearance, and very smooth. The easy draw has flavors of coffee, cocoa and roasted almonds that are often associated with a Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro.
The Corona is the perfect size when you don’t have too much time on your hands but crave a fuller bodied smoke that larger cigars provide.
Cuban cigars are pretty scarce in America, and even if you do get your hands on one, you should be aware that some so-called Cubans are counterfeit. Arturo Fuente’s Gran Reserva Cuban Corona will quash your yearning for a real Cuban cigar. When you purchase a box of them online from elcigarshop.com, you will be enjoying free shipping along with the excellent flavors of the cigars themselves.
Cuba is synonymous with rum, and the Gran Reserva Cuban Corona Maduro pairs perfectly with a rum from there, or any of the other Caribbean islands, for that matter. Bacardi 8 Reserva Superior, aged between 8 to 16 years, has flavors of nutmeg and oak and mixes very well with the nutty flavors of the Gran Reserva. Wow!
