PDR El Criollito Half Corona

Authentic flavour from the Dominican Republic

The PDR El Criollito Half Corona comes from the renowned PDR Cigars factory in Tamboril, Dominican Republic. Under the guidance of Master Blender Abe Flores, the art of cigar-making is practised to the highest standards here. The ‘El Criollito’ range combines the finest Dominican and Nicaraguan tobaccos with an aromatic, spicy Ecuador Criollo wrapper. In the compact Half Corona format, this blend unfolds with particular directness, making it perfect for short but intense moments of enjoyment.

Spicy, direct, ideal for everyday enjoyment

The El Criollito Half Corona is aimed at lovers of short formats who do not wish to compromise on depth and spice. From the very first puff, a clearly defined flavour profile emerges with notes of cedarwood, roasted coffee and subtle pepper, rounded off by a delicate, creamy sweetness. The strength ranges from mild to medium, yet remains flavourful and versatile – ideal for a quick break in between or as an introduction to cigar enjoyment.
