£53.39
A range of great value hand made cigars from Cuba to kick off the spring season.
One Jose Piedra Petit Cetros Cigar ; 5 inch by 38 Ring Gauge
Remedios is the oldest tobacco growing region in Cuba and a Protected Denomination of
Origin. The soil and climate of the region produce tobacco with a distinctive character and
flavour. Today Jose L. Piedra has the exclusive use of this unique tobacco for its cigars. The
flavours are often described as dense, robust and tangy.
Production method: Totally handmade using short leaves sourced from Remedios, Cuba
One Flor De Cano Elegidos Cigar; 4 3/4 inch by 48 Ring Gauge
The Elegidos is a relatively new cigar, having been launched in 2020 and introduced into the UK
market in May 2022 at the Ignite Trade show.
It is the only size from La Flor de Cano that is available in the UK and so offers a unique opportunity
to sample the brand’s distinctive blend, composed of Vuelta Abajo and Semi Vuelta tobacco.
Production method: Totally handmade using short filler tobacco leaves sourced from
the Vuelta Abajo and Semi Vuelta zones of Cuba
One Vegueros Entretiempos Cigar; 4 3/8ths inch by 52 Ring Gauge
Harvesting a single plant takes around 30 days, starting at the bottom and slowly working
up leaving days in between each picking. This method of harvesting accentuates the natural
difference between the older, less flavoursome leaves at the bottom and the younger, more
potent leaves at the top. It also allows the top leaves to reach full maturation. The days left
between harvesting different layers of leaves on the plant are the Entretiempos, the
“between times”.
This stout cigar delivers the intense and unique Vegueros taste in a format made famous by
the Montecristo Petit Edmundo, released in 2006.
American publication Cigar Aficionado reviewed the Entretiempos and awarded it a score of
90 out of a possible 100, saying:
There’s a reddish tinge to the wrapper of this robusto, which is hearty and rich,
offering plenty of earth and spice character balanced by notes of chocolate
Production method: Totally handmade using short leaves sourced from Remedios,
Cuba
