Jose L Piedra Petit Cazadores Cigar – Pack of 5

The Jose L Piedra Petit Cazadores measures 4 1/8 inches in length with a 43-ring gauge. Handmade in Cuba, it uses tobacco leaves sourced from the Vuelta Arriba region. The blend combines filler and binder leaves from this area, while the wrapper originates from the Piloto region in the Dominican Republic.

Flavor Profile and Construction

This Cuban cigar delivers earthy and woody notes with subtle cocoa, leather, and spice undertones. The mild-to-medium strength profile maintains consistency across its 30-40 minute smoking duration. The construction features a closed foot and triple-cap finish, contributing to an even burn.

Historical Background

Founded by Asturian immigrant Jose Lamadrid Piedra in the late 19th century, the brand operates in Santa Clara within Cuba's Vuelta Arriba region. This area has cultivated tobacco since the 1500s, with the Piedra family establishing their operation during the 1880s cigar boom.

Practical Features

• Packaged in 5-count cardboard bundles
• Compact format suits 30-40 minute smoking sessions
• Priced lower than most Cuban cigars

The Jose L Piedra Petit Cazadores uses a Cuban-secado drying method for its filler leaves, a traditional technique that enhances combustion properties. While classified as a machine-made brand since 1995, the Petit Cazadores maintains hand-rolling production standards.
