PDR El Criollito Half Corona Cigar – Tin of 5

The PDR El Criollito Half Corona features a revamped blend highlighting Dominican Criollo 98 tobacco. This 4.5" x 44 cigar combines an Ecuador Criollo 98 wrapper with a Mexican San Andrés binder, reinforced by entubado-rolled Dominican Criollo 98 filler and additional Mexican San Andrés leaf. The construction method enhances combustion efficiency while maintaining flavor density.

Physical characteristics include a tapered head for easier lighting and an oily wrapper surface. The cold draw reveals earthy undertones with subtle sweet cedar notes. Primary combustion produces medium smoke volume with a white ash formation.

Flavor progression follows this sequence:

• Initial: Roasted almond and white pepper
• Mid-section: Coffee bean bitterness balanced by sweet cedar
• Final third: Cocoa powder and earthy spice

The 45-minute burn time remains consistent across vitolas in the El Criollito line.

Packaged in airtight tins containing 5 cigars, this format preserves humidity levels during storage. The compact size suits 30-45 minute smoking sessions. Abe Flores utilizes Dominican tobacco from Santiago Rodriguez farms, with Mexican San Andrés leaf aged 18 months prior to rolling.
