The El Criollito blend by Pinar Del Rio puts Dominican tobacco center stage in a revamped recipe that highlights Abe Flores's deep appreciation for the Dominican Republic and its role in the cigar world. Ecuador Criollo 98 wrapper stays in place over a Mexican San Andres binder, while more entubado-rolled Dominican Criollo 98 and an extra dash of Mexican San Andres round out the fillers. Medium-bodied smoke brings a semi-spicy mix of nuts, coffee bean, sweet cedar, white pepper, and subtle sweetness with every puff. Reasonably priced and great any time of day, El Criollito is a Dominican gem worth adding to your cart.
