Por Larranaga PICADORES No.1
This 2014 release is only available from La Casa del Habanos and Havana Cigar Specialists. However, its light to medium blend with distinctive floral and zesty notes makes it well worth seeking out. Ideal after lunch with a cold glass of Chardonnay.
Mild, very cool, and with gentle tannins throughout, the Picadores is the ideal small Robusto-esque smoke for the aficionado who favours a delicate, convenient cigar. Plenty of cedar and white pepper throughout, the cigar produces a gentle spicy quality toward the finish, with some minerality, and slight leather note. Cool, easy going fail-safe smoke.
POR LARRANAGA
Por Larranaga is a brand with a long history. Founded in 1834, it enjoys a well earned reputation for its consistency and good presentation. Por Larrañaga cigars are handmade using long-filler tobacco leaves harvested from the world famous Pinar del Rio region of Cuba.
Globally the range includes cigars made using both the ‘tripa larga, totalmente a mano’ – long filler, totally hand made technique, and the ‘tripa corta, totalmente a mano’ – short filler, totally handmade method, but in the UK only the former is offered.
