In the 19th century it was one of the most famous Habanos brands of its time and the epitome of luxury - Por Larrañaga. At that time, their cigars were among the finest and most expensive of all. They were found in the finest shops, restaurants and hotels on five continents and have received numerous awards. Some went so far as to claim that the Por Larrañaga brand made the Havana cigar famous in the first place. And the following quote about his favorite cigar has been passed down from the Nobel laureate for literature and author of the “Jungle Book”, Rudyard Kipling: “There is peace in a Larrañaga”. Founded in 1834, it is definitely the oldest Habanos brand that is still produced today. Unfortunately, the number of their formats has decreased significantly over time and so recently there were only two in the standard range, the slim Montecarlos and the Petit Coronas. The announcement of a new format for the brand was therefore somewhat surprising: the Por Larrañaga Galanes, which are now on the market. "Galanes" (in Spanish "the lover") is also the name of the newly developed Vitola de Galera with a length of 120 mm and a ring gauge of 52. So we are dealing with a somewhat shortened, but thicker Robusto. This new format goes very well with the typical mixture of Por Larrañaga, which is characterized by creamy smoke, fine tobacco sweetness and notes of caramel with light to medium strength. The Por Larrañaga Galanes are packed in unglued, single-layer natural wooden boxes with 10 pieces.
