Flavor Development

Initial draws of the El Criollito Short Gordo deliver spice, cedar, and toasted nuts, transitioning to dark chocolate and espresso mid-session. The Criollo wrapper introduces subtle honeyed sweetness, while the San Andres binder adds earthy undertones. A peppery finish persists through the smoke, supported by the cigar’s thick 60+ ring gauge for reduced heat intensity.

Construction and Performance

The PDR El Criollito Short Gordo uses a four-country blend with entubado rolling for optimal airflow. Its compact 4" x 60 format produces dense smoke output while maintaining a 45-minute burn time. Expert construction ensures even combustion, with no relights required during testing.
