aliz388 Posted February 7, 2017 Posted February 7, 2017 In your opinion which petit corona is good to smoke ROTT. My aged petite corona stock has withered away and it is my go to size for a lunch time cigar. Need to stock up on something that smokes well straight away so my lunch time ritual may continue. In hindsight I should have seen this coming but you know what they say about it being 20:20 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Fugu Posted February 7, 2017 Posted February 7, 2017 Not usually smoking them fresh, as you lose a fair bit of the potential enjoyment if you ask me. But for me, the best to be smoked fresh is the Rafael Gonzales PC. Second best fresh, but which is a Minutos, would be the Boli Coronas Junior (but at the same time coming with great aging potential). On the other hand the Marevas in need of longest down time for me are the Boli PC and the Juan Lopez PC. And quite a few of great PCs are not any longer with us, like the H. Upmann, which also makes for an enjoyable smoke already when fresh. 3
dominattorney Posted February 7, 2017 Posted February 7, 2017 Some may say this is a sacrilege, but I love the Monte #4 fresh. Of course, I have an 09 box that is knocking it out of the park right now, but fresh is a different beast, and one that certainly has its place. 2
SticksAndSticks Posted February 7, 2017 Posted February 7, 2017 I smoke mostly PCs and have found the Hoyo Du Prince (rip), HUPC (rip), and Siglo II to all smoke very well fresh.
DWC Posted February 7, 2017 Posted February 7, 2017 A different approach to your dilemma would be to just buy some aged PC's. Smoke them while your fresh stock is gaining some time. -Dan
Orion21 Posted February 7, 2017 Posted February 7, 2017 Many have been good fresh over the past few years. Bolivar and Upmann have been my favorites. 2

Upmann Petit Coronas fresh. Yes, they get "mo' better" with age, but the flavors are big and bold when young. 1
earthson Posted February 7, 2017 Posted February 7, 2017 Uh, none of them? Honestly, PC seem to me to be THE vitola that needs the most down time. If I HAD to smoke a PC fresh, I'd aim for RyJ MF, though you might still want something a year or 2 old at the least. 1
PuffDaddie Posted February 7, 2017 Posted February 7, 2017 For me it's a Por Larranaga petite corona. 3
Popular Post Fuzz Posted February 7, 2017 Popular Post Posted February 7, 2017 PLPC. Love the mongrel in them when fresh. 5
backbone Posted February 7, 2017 Posted February 7, 2017 What is fresh? What kind of rest are we talking about as well? I like Monte when I get them, but the box date is usually a year or so earlier.
strikethebox7 Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 As mentioned above Monte #4's are great fresh! Very creamy with hints of chocolate, awesome little sticks
bigben Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 If I had to pick one, I would go with PLPC also. 2
bigbanana14 Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 Another vote for PLPCs. Love smoking them young.
SignalJoe Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 Monte 4 and Bolivar tubos 2 for me. That said they are better still with a little age on them.

canadianbeaver Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 Fresh is a strange word for me, because cigars that come in might be 0-10 years old anyway? Perhaps the answer is 1
Sophistic Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 +1 for bpc and monte 4. prefer hoyo du prince and upmann pc, but just with 3(better 5)+ years on it.
luv2fly Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 PLPC for me. I do enjoy them with some age but I do like the mongrel as well.
MPfit Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 Echo the plpc. Spice and mongrel is my favorite flavor and that combined with the slight sweetness in a fresh plpc makes it one of favorite sticks. Cabs don't last long
Fuzz Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 To me, fresh is less than 12mths from the date code. 1
Mycroft Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 Plpc from 2014 are very good, but recent ones have been inconsistent for me. Recent HU du Prince have been excellent but may be hard to find as they are discontinued.
Williamos Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 Granted, not a petite corona, but I've been working my way through a wonderful box of Hoyo petite robustos. Leathery, cedar, toasted tobacco with a sprinkle of pepper and vanilla. Not an overly complex cigar - but a thoroughly enjoyable short, fresh smoke.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1
