Por Larrañaga Galanes
A new vitola for the brand and for Habanos!
Presented during the first edition of Habanos World Days, a virtual event that replaces the Habanos Festival, which was cancelled due to the global pandemic, the Por Larrañaga Galanes has just arrived in Switzerland. Switzerland is one of the first markets in the world to receive Galanes in the La Casa del Habano and Habanos Specialist points of sale.
For the first time in six years, Por Larrañaga's regular catalogue has a new vitola. Indeed, the brand's latest release is the Picadores, a Hermosos No.4 (48 x 127mm) reintroduced in 2014 exclusively for Habanos Specialist points of sale. It does not have the distinctive double band but a special band, which takes the colours of the Picadores one, which disappeared in the 1970s, and combines them with the brand's current band design. Whether in its former version or in the current one, the Picadores is the only Por Larrañaga cigar with a coloured band.
Despite a relatively limited vitolario, consisting of four cigars in regular production since the arrival of the Galanes, the brand's durability, its age and its recurrent presence in special Habanos productions ensure it a place of choice in the hearts of experienced aficionados.
This new cigar is the first with a 52 ring gauge to be included in the brand's regular production. Indeed, although Por Larrañaga is one of the oldest Cuban cigar brands, it has never had a 52 ring gauge vitola in its regular production portfolio. However, the cepo is not totally new for the brand. Indeed, Por Larrañaga, used to regional editions, has already used it on several occasions, such as in 2009 for the Valiosos in a Swiss regional edition (Pirámides - 52 x 156 mm) or the Opera from 2015 in a French regional edition (Mágicos - 52 x 115 mm) or the Belicosos Extra from 2008 in an Asia-Pacific regional edition (Campanas - 52 x 140 mm).
The vitola, "Galanes" (52 x 120 mm) is also a first for Habanos. Indeed, this format is currently not found in any other Habanos brand catalogue. Its size is in line with the new trend of "short smokes", which are increasingly appreciated by aficionados as they offer a complex aromatic profile in a relatively short tasting time.
The Por Larrañaga Galanes is available in unvarnished wooden boxes (called SBN for Semi Box Nature) of 10 cigars.
Like all Por Larrañaga vitolas, the Galanes is made "Totalmente a Mano con Tripa Larga" with tobacco leaves from the Vuelta Abajo.
