Product Introduction

The Por Larrañaga Picadores Cigar comes in a classic Mareva format. It's hand - made in Cuba, with a Hermosos 4 format. A box contains 25 cigars and it costs around $15.

Taste and Aroma

  • One third: The start is soft in the mouth, with subtle mellow flavors of sweetness and flowers like chamomile or floral honey. The smoke is light, hitting the front of the palate. There are few flavor variations in the first 15 minutes.
  • Two thirds: The smoke density increases, bringing nutty flavors, hints of pepper and grilled almonds, all with a creamy texture.
  • Three thirds: The strength increases, and the taste evolves to more woodiness, overtaking the creamy texture. The smoke remains consistent and balanced.

Appearance and Combustion

The wrapper is between Colorado and Colorado - claro. The veins are visible, but the appearance is smooth and uniform. It feels soft and smells slightly sweet. The combustion is good, but the draw is a bit too easy. The ash is compact but not solid, breaking into small pieces.

Por Larranaga is the oldest brand still in production, created in 1834. It offers light - to - medium blends. Currently, the brand has 3 production cigars. This cigar will please brand fans and others can enjoy a great Habano in 45 minutes, similar to El Rey del Mundo Choix Supreme. Pair it with chamomile infusion for a sweet and floral experience.
