Corona Gorda / Grand Corona

[Hammer Smokin']

I notice my Ramon Allones Superiores are listed as a Grand Corona (46 x 5 3/4).

I notice my Cohiba Siglo IV's are listed as a Corona Gorda (46 x 5 5/8).

What is the difference between a Grand Corona and a Corona Gorda? (or are they the exact same words, just said in a different manner?)

About 1/8 of an inch...?

Both are some of the best sizes.

Just the tip...

Coronas Gordas is the factory name of the cigar whilst Grand Corona is the common name.

A Corona Gorda is 46 ring gauge x 143 mm (5.6 inches) whereas a Grand Corona can cover cigars that are slightly different sizes such as the Ramon Allones Club Allones, for example, which is 47 ring gauge x 135 mm (or 5.3 inches).

This ^^ What a great explanation by you, JohnS!!

Agreed. I usually find myself drawn to the corona-ish sizes. There’s just something magical about them.

Thank you for that explanation. My cigar knowledge has been increased, and that’s a good thing.

Thank you very much.

My OCD needed this explanation! I assumed they were kinda of the same thing, based on how similar the names were, but you've nailed it!

Where are you seeing this? Both cigars are of the Coronas Gordas vitola at 46 x 143 mm (5 5/8"). 

As @JohnS points out Grand Corona is a common name which has been used to describe cigars with RGs from 46 to 49 and lengths of 5.3" to 6.6". Any cigar in that range would be informally classified as a Grand Corona.

If you google simply "Ramon Allones Superiores", of the first links that appear, 3 list them as Grand Corona and 2 list them as Corona Gorda,

which was where my confusion was coming from. It appears I've seen them listed as both...

Again, appreciate clearing up my confusion.
