Description
PDR El Criollito was first introduced in Europe before making it’s way to us here in the US. To begin with, the PDR Cigar factory is creating some of the most acclaimed cigars on the market. With 3 cigars making the lists of the top 25 in the world in 2013, one making the Robb Report’s Ultimate Gift Guide, and another being nominated for a 2013 Cigar Trophy the PDR Cigar factory and Abe Flores is truly one of the industry’s elite boutique cigar makers.
With attention to detail, Criollo tobacco plays a pivotal role in this blend being featured in the wrapper and in the filler. Add this to the dark Mexican binder along with vintage Dominican filler and you know this has to be good. The result is medium body, medium strength, excellent draw and a bevy of flavors. Think Natural Tobacco, Fruit, Earth, Cedar and bits of Pepper for starters.
Cigar smokers are definitely united. In Europe they love this cigar. Here in the States, the sentiment is the same. Stogie Press especially enjoyed the cinnamon notes along with the nuances of dark chocolate and almond. They rate this PDR a respectable 91. Cigar Coop exclaims, “It delivers a very classic flavor profile that can appeal to a wide range of cigar enthusiasts.” Halfwheel this this is a very good choice to track down and try.
To sum up, PDR El Criollito comes in 4 popular sizes of 24 count boxes. But BEWARE. These cigars sell quickly. Get some when we have them!

PDR El Criollito made its debut in Europe and was such a hit the company brought them to the US in limited quantities.
This wonderful mild to mellow bodied cigar that’s perfectly
balanced delivers a smooth middle of the road strength yielding notes of cedar wood, roasted nuts, black coffee and slightly sweet natural tobacco. The Half Corona is my favorite!
