The PDR El Criollito Robusto is a masterfully crafted cigar that offers an exceptional balance of flavor, complexity, and smoothness. Expertly blended by Abe Flores, this robusto-sized gem is wrapped in a gorgeous Ecuadorian Criollo wrapper, which delivers a velvety texture and an attractive sheen. The wrapper provides a natural sweetness with hints of spice, setting the stage for a well-rounded smoking experience. Beneath this beautiful exterior lies a Mexican San Andrés binder, known for its rich, earthy qualities, which enhances the depth of the cigar’s profile. The core of the blend consists of Dominican and Nicaraguan long-fillers, carefully selected to produce a medium-bodied experience with layers of complexity.
Upon lighting, the PDR El Criollito Robusto immediately introduces a wave of toasted nuts, black pepper, and cedar, offering a bold yet inviting start. As the smoke progresses, notes of dark chocolate, coffee, and a hint of leather develop, adding smoothness and depth to the profile. The Criollo wrapper contributes a delicate honeyed sweetness, which perfectly balances the subtle spice and earthy richness throughout the experience. The draw is effortless, allowing for thick clouds of aromatic smoke, while the burn remains even and consistent, reflecting PDR’s commitment to quality craftsmanship.
Ideal for both novice and seasoned smokers, the PDR El Criollito Robusto is a versatile cigar that pairs beautifully with a rich espresso or a smooth bourbon. It delivers a flavorful yet balanced experience, making it an excellent addition to any aficionado’s humidor.
