Por Larranaga Galanes Cigar - 1 Single
by Harold
My daughter bought me one (and a few other brands) for Christmas. I kept this one in my humidor as a special smoke for New Years Eve and I was dismayed from the start. To begin with it would not draw. The initial cap clip was very hard indicating a very poor make that produced a tight block. Despite a probe up inside the barrel it still would not draw so I tried feeling how far up the barrel the hard block reached. Too far. I used my cutter again and cut up to what I thought was going to improve the draw. Not very far. I wanted some cigar left to smoke. Still no draw. I cut more and it began to draw. Then I discovered the flavour was almost tasteless. It did not improve at all, leaving me very annoyed. It spoilt my New Years evening. I guess I got a bad one But for that price there should not be a bad one in the box.

I second Ronnies review.
Quite a bad stick. Kept going out had to relight between almost every pull.
It looks fancy but not worth the time.

Positive surprise. Well-constructed, with even draw. Not very complex cigar but a consistent one. Strong, rich, earthy tabaco flavour, getting mild and creamy towards the end. Not the top of my list, but good choice when on budged. Value for the money.

I absolutely love this blend, perfect for a nice stroll around the park on a foggy morning. Definitely one of my favourites. And Im a big fan of English blends

This should be a beautiful cigar but just not worth the money.
Looks amazing and smells amazing but construction is just abysmal!
Really wanted to love it - Plumes of smoke from the cherry but nothing from the draw... amazing taste when you get some smoke but Cubans are becoming more and more unreliable now....
Can someone do Cuban taste with new world construction?! Will save the 35 quid for a Fuente next time...

Really enjoyed this cigar. It was a little loose initially, but grew into a great smoke. Lasting around 45 minutes, it was just a good cigar. Reminded me of a few Macanudo cigars I have tried, with a nice after taste. Will definitely be trying again.
