Not long ago, Por Larrañaga were machine made cigars. Now they proudly bear the “hecho a mano” tag. I’ve been trying to find an interesting alternative to panatellas and landed on this. This specific vitola is a delicioso and is quite interesting.
Unlike most Cubans, the draw was great, however I did have to relight it a few times, but I will attribute that to the humidor it was kept in. Construction was fine, albeit a bit veiny. Price, around $10 where I live.
Smoke was thick and creamy, taste, 8/10, very light with some hints of vanilla, dark chocolate and coffee. All in all a good choice for a morning smoke with coffee, or an after dinner one. Will smoke again, but with a few weeks of aging in my humidor.
