Por Larrañaga Intemporales Edición Regional Suiza 2023
A cigar that reminds us that true elegance never follows trends.
The Por Larrañaga Intemporales Edición Regional Suiza 2023, released exclusively for the Swiss market, this remarkable Regional Edition is more than a limited production Habano—it is a quiet tribute to patience, craftsmanship, and the timeless values that have defined one of Cuba's oldest cigar houses for nearly two centuries.
Founded in Havana in 1834, Por Larrañaga is among the world's oldest cigar brands still in production. Throughout its history, it has remained deliberately discreet, maintaining one of the smallest regular portfolios in the Habanos universe. Yet that restraint has always reflected an uncompromising philosophy: every cigar bearing the Por Larrañaga name must embody elegance, consistency, and refinement. It is precisely this pursuit of perfection that has made each of the brand's Regional Editions so eagerly awaited by seasoned aficionados.
The name Intemporales was chosen with great intention. It speaks of something that transcends passing fashions and remains relevant through generations. In the world of Habanos—where time itself is one of the essential ingredients—the name celebrates the permanence of Cuban craftsmanship and the savoir-faire handed down from one generation of torcedores to the next. It is an invitation to slow down, to appreciate nuance, and to rediscover the pleasure of smoking without haste.
That philosophy is perfectly reflected in the chosen vitola. Measuring 152 mm with a 38-ring gauge, the elegant Laguito No. 2 format belongs to the great tradition of slender Cuban cigars. Shared with legendary vitolas such as the Cohiba Especiales and Montecristo Especiales No. 2, it stands in elegant contrast to today's growing preference for thick-ring cigars. Choosing such a refined format is, in many ways, an act of quiet confidence—one that rewards smokers who value complexity, balance, and gradual evolution over sheer intensity.
Entirely Totalmente a Mano con Tripa Larga, the Intemporales is crafted exclusively with tobacco from the legendary Vuelta Abajo region. The smoking experience remains faithful to the unmistakable Por Larrañaga identity: medium-bodied, refined, and beautifully balanced. It opens with creamy notes of cedar and roasted nuts before gradually revealing soft leather, freshly roasted coffee, and delicate touches of cocoa. The finish is long, gently spiced, and remarkably elegant, leaving a lasting impression without ever overpowering the palate.
Limited to only 6,000 individually numbered boxes of 25 cigars, the Intemporales immediately establishes itself as a collector's piece. More importantly, it reflects the special relationship between Switzerland and the world of Habanos. By selecting Por Larrañaga for this exclusive Edición Regional, Intertabak AG pays tribute to one of the most knowledgeable and discerning cigar communities in the world.
Some cigars capture a moment. Por Larrañaga Intemporales captures something far rarer: the beauty of craftsmanship that refuses to age, proving that true elegance is, indeed, timeless.
