Por Larrañaga Montecarlos

HISTORY

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.

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.

TASTING NOTES

This slender, light-to-medium-bodied cigar offers notes of cedar, cocoa, coffee bean, and a slightly savoury-sweet, buttery creaminess.

The subtle, gentle flavours are best with an Irish Cream Liqueur or a light-bodied espresso.
