The Por Larranaga is a brand with a long history. Founded in 1834, it enjoys a well earned reputation for its consistency and good presentation. Por Larrañaga cigars are handmade using long-filler tobacco leaves harvested from the world famous Pinar del Rio region of Cuba.

Presented in dressed boxes of 25, the Montecarlo measures 6¼“ x 33 ring gauge and is the latest addition to the UK Por Larrana gaportfolio.

The cigars are Tripa Larga (long filler) and carry the distinct aromas found in this light to medium brand.

Two cigar brands form to make up Por Larranaga, one being Cuban grown for Habanos SA and the other produced in the Dominican Republic and Honduras for Imperial Tobacco’s Altadis division.

The Brand Por Larranaga was formed by Ignacio Larranaga in 1834 and by the closing stages of the 19th Century had become a very revered and popular brand by producing cigars of both affordable and expensive price ranges. The first factory to make machine made cigars was owned by Por Larranaga in 1925. This was hugely controversial at the time and workers even boycotted and effectively rebelled against this. Por Larranaga was the 6th biggest Cuban cigar brand when the revolution happened.
