Buy cigars by Por Larranga
Por Larrañaga, with over 150 years of history, is one of the oldest Habanos brands and for a long time was probably one of the most important at all. The founder of the brand was Ignacio Larrañaga, who registered the brand in Havana in 1834. Its fame quickly spread around the world. You could get it in the best hotels, clubs and restaurants on all five continents. Some even went so far as to say that the Por Larrañaga made the Habano famous. Many stories are entwined around this brand and the words of the author Rudyard Kipling, the author of the Jungle Book, have a special charm: "There is peace in a Larrañaga". The extensive range of formats has also been reduced over the years. But the popular Montecarlos, Panetelas and Petit Coronas formats have remained with us to this day. Their particularly well-balanced tobacco blend is the typical hallmark of this brand and the outstanding aging properties make especially the Petit Coronas from the 50 Cabinet a special gem in any humidor.
Worth knowing
The Por Larranaga brand was one of the most famous brands in the portfolio of Habanos S.A. in the 19th century and was considered the epitome of luxury, which is why the cigars were among the finest and most expensive of all at the time and were available in the most distinguished shops on five continents. Some went so far as to make the Por Larranaga brand of Havana cigars famous in the first place. The author of the "Jungle Book", Rudyard Kipling, passed down the following quote about his favourite cigar: "There's peace in a Larranaga". In recent years, the portfolio has been visibly reduced, which is why the announcement of a new vitola called Galanes is somewhat surprising.
Flavours
The format developed especially for the Por Larranga Galanes bears the sonorous name de Galera. It is a shortened and somewhat thicker Robusto with the tobacco blend typical of the brand. After lighting up, an aromatic smoking pleasure develops with wood, earth, caramel and grass flavours, which are underlined by a nutty-fruity sweetness.

Wissenswertes
Im Zuge der Umstellung von Maschinen- auf Handfertigung bei zahllosen kleineren Formaten wurde das Ringmaß dieser „Slim Panetela“ von 35 auf 33 verringert. Die elegante „Bohnenstange“ bietet alle Vorzüge der Traditionsmarke in 45 – 60 Minuten.
Aromen
Ausgewogen, leicht und sanft wie fast alle Larranagas, schält sich bei diesem Langformat die unverkennbare schmeichelnde Karamellsüße besonders angenehm heraus. Milde, feine Gewürznoten, Zedernduft, ein leicht Hoyo-mäßiger Hauch Milchkaffee nebst frischeren blumigen Obertönen komplettieren das charmante Geschmacksbild dieser vorzüglichen, filigranen Nachmittagszigarre. Sie wird im Rauchverlauf holziger, durchaus auch intensiver, aber niemals stark oder gar beißend, trotz des geringen Durchmessers. Eine niveauvolle, originelle Habano für Individualisten!

Wissenswertes
Diese bleistiftdünne Kleinzigarre, die 2002 eine maschinengefertigte Vorgängerin ersetzte, wird leider seit 2019 nicht mehr produziert. Schade, war das elegante Format doch ein exquisiter Nachmittagssmoke für ca. 35 – 50 Minuten.
Aromen
Einigen sehr dünnen Zigarren gelingt tatsächlich das Kunststück, die typische Aromenkonzentration ohne große Stärke oder unangenehmen Biss zu erreichen. So auch diese bei aller Geschmacksintensität wunderbar sanfte Zigarre mit ihren cremigen Vanille-, Karamell- und Milchkaffee-Aromen, deren weiche Süße perfekt mit den zedrigen Holztönen harmoniert. Letztere nehmen allmählich mehr Raum im Geschmacksbild ein, ohne die anderen zu verdrängen. Die stets toll ziehende Zigarre straft mit ihrer Gutmütigkeit alle Panetela-Skeptiker Lügen.

Worth knowing
The longest-produced Larranaga is also the longest-running. No wonder, because this classic Mareva delights for 35 - 50 minutes with a wonderful smoking sensation and is a secret favorite of many connoisseurs.
Flavours
Without doubt the most opulent, creamy and multi-layered Por Larranaga. The fantastic caramel flavor that unites all formats is complemented by a multi-faceted, elegant roasted aroma that is clearly reminiscent of light nuts and whose soft, sweetish notes nestle wonderfully on the palate. The smoke is dense and creamy; the woody, leathery component of the “Picadores” can only be detected in the background, while the floral aromas of the “Montecarlos” are more pronounced. The blend thus combines virtually all the characteristics of the endearing brand to create a rather light, yet fully aromatic cigar.

Worth knowing
The handy "Hermoso No. 4" format is available in some particularly outstanding Habanos, such as the VR "Famosos" or the SLR "Regios". Por Larranaga probably thought the same thing in 2014 and released this Vítola with retro anilla, which is only available from selected specialist retailers and is only available from us in the entire region. Smoking time approx. 50 - 65 minutes.
Flavours
Without a doubt the strongest and spiciest PL, the slimmed down Robusto pushes the woody, roasted side of the brand to the fore without overemphasizing it. In other words, the delicious sweetness and gentle creaminess of its sisters are also clearly recognizable, but cedar, mocha, grain and dark nut aromas are more in the foreground. The typical pleasant leathery impression of traditionally mixed Habanos is also present here, but the smoke is still really creamy. Like all Hermosos, this is an uncomplicated cigar to smoke, yet complex in taste and of a medium strength.
