Ignacio Larranaga, a Spaniard, established the brand Por Larranaga,
in 1834 and, after more than a century, this brand is still renowned for
the quality of it's rolling and the tremendously clever presentation
of it's sizes and shapes. Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936), the famous
English writer, even wrote "There's peace in a Larranaga, there's calm
in Henry Clay", in his 1890 poem "The Betrothed".
The Lolas en Cedro used to be extremely famous and is still the speciality
of the house. This cigar, wrapped in very thin cedar leaf, is a real
masterpiece for it's peerless presentation. It is rich,velvety, full of vanilla spice flavours with floral aromatic notes. The
Lonsdales and the Petit Coronas, likewise, fill the mouth with spicy
nutmeg, caramel overtones and that subtly sweet floral aroma.
