Arturo Fuente Gran Reserva Corona Imperial

Corona Imperial is a six-and-a-half-inch Gran Reserva with a 46 ring gauge. It shares its length with Spanish Lonsdale but is four ring-gauge points wider. Natural and Maduro are among Fuente’s listed wrapper designations for this format. The Gran Reserva family is the broad foundation of the Fuente range. Its manufacturer account highlights vintage tobacco and hand craftsmanship within a business carried through four generations. Corona Imperial brings that collection background to one of its longer, relatively slender formats. Flor Fina 8-5-8 is half an inch shorter at a slightly wider 47 ring gauge. Churchill increases both length and diameter, reaching seven and a quarter inches by 48 ring. Corona Imperial sits between those two published proportions.
