Those last three are from Cigar Luxury cigars.
What you see is the Petite Corona from the own brand "Premium" line in Habano, presently on special $46 for 25 cigars.

The other 6X38 is their maduro, and at the time of my order, was also on special for a little less than $2 a stick. Today they are on special, $51.75 for 25 smokes.

The last is their Coronita from their barberpole line (I'm a sucker for that gimmick and sometimes it pays off & for $60 for 25 smokes, I bit).
As you get to their website and look around, you can see they also have other stuff - and even some of their own stuff garners a greater premium price. If you like a bargain stick, these are well worth trying.
I have had both the Petite Coronas, the Coronita, and their Cameroon in a Robusto size. The first 3 are in their "premium" collection, the also have "premium plus" collection, and then the Cameroon (and some others) in their "super premium" collection.
I found the PCs tasty. They burned evenly, draw fine, and their flavors are enjoyable. The barberpole was as I thought it might be, sweet and a bit spicy. Having said that, I can only speak for myself. If I am only having one cigar, I may or may not reach for these as I may be hoping for a particular taste. These (PCs) are a great smoke if I don't want to be outside in the middle of winter for too long.
I didn't give him one, but I also bit on the Cameroon in in the robusto size. It is a great smoke - if you like Cammie wrapped sticks. They don't cello those, but wrap them in newspaper - not sure why. When I ordered these, they were $54 for a bundle of 10. I thougt they were worth it.
Maybe I am impressed with them because of the fact that I got most of them for less than $2 (early 2023) as I was looking at the prices of other cigars, especially Cubans. At the time I was thinking, "Hey, if I do not like them I can bring them along to pastors' conferences and hand them out to the moochers to lazy to bring their own smokes." There are a couple moochers for whom these are too good.
Peace of the Lord be with you.
