PDR El Criollito Perla

Authentic flavour from the Dominican Republic

The PDR El Criollito Perla comes from the renowned PDR Cigars factory in Tamboril, Dominican Republic. Under the guidance of Master Blender Abe Flores, a hand-rolled long-filler cigar is crafted here, combining traditional tobacco craftsmanship with modern balance. The ‘El Criollito’ range impresses with a harmonious blend of Dominican and Nicaraguan tobaccos, enhanced by a finely textured Ecuador Criollo wrapper. In the slender Perla format, the blend is particularly direct, elegant and accessible.

Spicy, balanced, compact

The El Criollito Perla appeals to aficionados seeking a compact yet aromatically complex cigar. From the moment it is lit, spicy notes of cedarwood, roasted pepper and mild coffee emerge, accompanied by a creamy undertone. The balanced strength ranges from mild to medium, whilst the short smoking time offers a concentrated flavour experience with distinct nuances – perfect for an aromatic treat between meals.
