PDR El Criollito Purito Cigar – Tin of 6

The PDR El Criollito Purito combines Dominican, Mexican, and Ecuadorian tobaccos in its updated blend. Abe Flores, owner of Pinar Del Rio (PDR), prioritized Dominican Criollo 98 filler rolled via the entubado method, paired with a Mexican San Andrés binder and Ecuadorian Criollo 98 wrapper. This configuration balances medium-bodied flavors like toasted nuts, coffee bean, cedar, and white pepper at an accessible price point.

Wrapper & Binder Composition

The Ecuadorian Criollo 98 wrapper on the PDR El Criollito Purito adds mild sweetness and spice, while the Mexican San Andrés binder introduces earthy undertones. The Dominican Criollo 98 filler, rolled using the entubado technique, ensures optimal combustion and flavor delivery.

Flavor Profile

Initial draws of the PDR El Criollito Purito reveal toasted nuts, cedar, and black pepper. Mid-smoke, darker notes of coffee and leather emerge, balanced by the wrapper’s sweetness. The ash remains steady, and the draw remains consistent despite the cigar’s compact 4¼" x 33 format.
