Por Larranaga Montecarlo Cigar – Single

The Por Larranaga Montecarlo Cigar maintains its position as one of the oldest Cuban cigar brands still in production. This 6 1/4-inch Robusto format cigar features a 33-ring gauge and comes packaged in boxes of 25. Designed for a 45-minute smoking session, it delivers a mild-bodied profile with accessible flavors.

Flavor Development

• Initial notes of earth, cedar, and faint sweetness
• Mid-smoke transitions to spice, nutty undertones, and leather
• Final third introduces cocoa and roasted coffee accents

The Por Larranaga Montecarlo Cigar uses a tightly rolled Cuban-seed wrapper that promotes consistent combustion. Smokers report minimal touch-ups required, with ash holding firm through the first third. Draw resistance falls within acceptable parameters for hand-rolled cigars of this ring gauge.
