POR LARRAÑAGA Flavour profile: Light to medium
Por Larrañaga is a brand with a long history. Founded in 1834 by Ignacio Larrañaga it enjoys a well- earned reputation for its consistency and good presentation.
All the filler and binder tobaccos in Por Larrañaga come from the Vuelta Abajo zone.
Globally the range includes cigars made using both the ‘tripa larga, totalmente a mano’ – long filler, totally handmade technique, and the ‘tripa corta, totalmente a mano’ – short filler, totally handmade method, but in the UK only the former is offered.
The Range
Petit Corona
For many years the standard bearer for Por Larrañaga’s range in the UK. It carries the brand’s traditional colours as well with its creamy, light to medium flavour. A delightful unassuming and reliable cigar. A turn to.
Montecarlos
Although cigars of this shape are now often overlooked in favour of something wider, anyone picking up a Montecarlos will discover an elegant and chic, light to medium bodied smoke full of subtlety and nuance. For the discriminating smoker.
Picadores
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 glass of chilled Chardonnay.
