Every Por Larrannaga Lonsdales is guaranteed 100% authentic, sourced directly from Habanos S.A. with the official seal and full traceability from Vuelta Abajo to your door.
Por Larrannaga is one of the oldest names in the Cuban cigar world, registered in Havana back in 1834 by Spanish immigrant Ignacio Larrannaga. Nearly two centuries on, the marca still draws its long filler, binder, and wrapper leaf from the prized Vuelta Abajo region, and it keeps a loyal following among smokers who value finesse over force. The Lonsdale itself is a much-loved vitola: a 6.5 inch (165 mm) cigar with a 42 ring gauge, known in factory terms as a Cervantes. Aficionados will recall that this size returned as an Edicion Regional Alemania in 2006, with 2,400 boxes produced for the German market after the format had been off the standard list, a reminder of just how missed this elegant shape had become.
Light it and the first third opens with thick, creamy smoke, leading with aged cedar and a gentle thread of cinnamon. Through the middle the cigar fills out with milk chocolate, soft hay, and a quiet touch of citrus peel, all kept in careful balance so nothing dominates. The final third holds onto that cedar backbone while the cinnamon slowly recedes, leaving a subtle, almost floral lift to the close. The body sits comfortably at medium, never climbing into heavy territory, which is exactly why so many smokers reach for it.
Like most well-built Habanos, the Lonsdale rewards patience. Keep it in a seasoned humidor held around 65 to 70 percent relative humidity and roughly 18 degrees Celsius, and the cedar and spice notes tend to marry and soften over time. A slender 42 ring gauge means these can dry out a little faster than thicker cigars, so a stable environment matters. Give boxes a rest of several months to a few years and you may find the profile grows rounder and more harmonious.
This is a cigar for the smoker who appreciates nuance. If you favor a medium, balanced experience with classic cedar and spice rather than an aggressive, high-octane blend, the Lonsdale fits beautifully. The longer Lonsdale format also makes it a fine choice for an unhurried hour, whether you are new to the marca or a long-time Por Larrannaga devotee revisiting an old favorite.
