PDR El Criollito Half Corona cigars are presented in tins of 5, with an outer carton containing 5 tins (25 cigars in total), and are handcrafted in the Dominican Republic by Pinar del Rio Cigars. They feature a smooth Ecuadorian Criollo ’98 Rosado wrapper over a Mexican San Andrés binder, with a refined filler blend of Dominican Criollo ’98 and Nicaraguan Criollo ’98 tobaccos, creating a balanced and flavourful profile.
This compact 3 1/2 x 50 half corona delivers a medium-bodied experience over approximately 25 to 35 minutes. It opens with notes of white pepper and cedar, complemented by toasted almond and coffee richness. As the cigar develops, flavours evolve into hints of cinnamon, earthiness, dark chocolate, and leather, leading to a smooth and creamy tobacco finish.
Refined under the guidance of Abe Flores, with a focus on traditional entubado construction, this cigar offers excellent build quality, an even burn, and a consistent draw. Ideal for shorter smoking moments, it provides a satisfying and well-rounded experience, pairing particularly well with espresso and offering accessible everyday enjoyment.
