Horacio Pantera, aged 60

The Horacio Pantera 60 is the substantial flagship of the new Pantera range – a modern Gordo with rich aromatic depth, a creamy, silky smoke and impressive balance. The naturally elegant Ecuadorian wrapper envelops a complex blend of Nicaraguan and Honduran tobaccos; the intensity is Medium+, finely balanced between strength and finesse. Those who love distinctive yet refined premium cigars will find the Horacio Pantera 60 to be an expressive cigar with a reliable construction and a long, clean finish.

Horacio Pantera 60 – Origin & Blend

The Pantera series represents a new level of expressiveness for Horacio: a silky-smooth Ecuadorian wrapper meets a Nicaraguan binder and a filler blend of Honduran and Nicaraguan tobaccos. Selected leaves from Paraguay are also used throughout the range – the result is richness without harshness, structure without coarseness. The Horacio Pantera 60 is therefore aimed at aficionados who appreciate a deep, smooth interplay of flavours and a contemporary blend design.

Format, construction & smoking time

Measuring 6" × 60 (approx. 15.2 cm in length, Ø 2.38 cm), the Horacio Pantera 60 sits comfortably in the hand and offers – depending on the pace of smoking – around 60–90 minutes of enjoyment. A characteristic feature of the Pantera vitolas is the pigtail cap. The roll is firm and even, the draw reliable, and the ash compact – allowing the spectrum of flavours to unfold in a controlled and smooth manner. Available as a single cigar or in a handy box of 15.

Flavours & Pairing

On the palate, the Horacio Pantera 60 opens with soft leather and roasted coffee, before toasted almond and an elegant, spicy undertone emerge. The body is medium-full, yet remains creamy and silky on the palate. Pairing tip: a strong espresso, barrel-aged rum or a rounded, lightly peated single malt – these bring out the nutty and chocolatey notes and complement the long, harmonious finish.
