Esteban Carreras Hawaiian Breeze Kona Petit Corona

Esteban Carreras Hawaiian Breeze Kona brings a real holiday feeling to the humidor: a mild, handcrafted cigar with a subtle flavour, inspired by the famous Kona coffee from Hawaii. Rather than being overpowering, the flavour profile is creamy and well-rounded – perfect for relaxed afternoons, dessert moments or as an accompaniment to cappuccino and the like. Available in Petit Corona and Corona sizes, the range stays true to its concept: easy-going, aromatic and pleasantly accessible.

Kona coffee flavour: creamy, smooth, not too sweet

Several retailers and specialist reviews describe the aroma very aptly: an intense coffee aroma is accompanied by mocha, cinnamon and a subtle sweetness (e.g. sugar cane). That is precisely what makes the Kona so enjoyable: the flavours are clearly discernible, yet do not completely overshadow the tobacco character. If you like flavoured cigars that feel ‘well-rounded’ rather than artificial, this is the one for you.

Tobacco construction & style: mild, balanced, cleanly crafted

The blend is described as comprising a Connecticut wrapper (referred to in sources as Nicaraguan Connecticut), a Dominican binder, and filler tobaccos from the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua. This combination complements the creamy Kona profile perfectly: smooth on the palate, with a gentle burn and a pleasant, full-bodied flavour – ideal for beginners or for moments when you don’t want something ‘too strong’.

Petit Corona & Corona: two sizes, one tropical vibe

The Petit Corona (5 × 44) is more compact and gets straight to the heart of the flavour – perfect for a coffee break. The Corona (6 × 45) gives you more time for the flavour to develop and offers a slightly more relaxed, creamier smoking experience.  Both sizes are designed for gentle enjoyment; depending on your draw rate, you can roughly expect a smoking time of around 45–60 minutes (Petit Corona) or around an hour (Corona).
