The PDR El Criollito Short Gordo features an Ecuadorian Criollo 98 wrapper and Mexican San Andrés binder, combined with Dominican Criollo 98 and Mexican San Andrés filler tobaccos. This blend emphasizes Dominican-grown leaves while retaining a medium-bodied profile. The entubado rolling method ensures even combustion and consistent flavor delivery.
Flavor notes include toasted nuts, coffee bean, and white pepper in the initial third, transitioning to dark chocolate and espresso mid-session. The Criollo wrapper contributes subtle cedar sweetness, balanced by peppery undertones from the San Andrés binder. A 60-ring gauge maintains cool smoke temperatures despite the cigar’s 4-inch length.
