PDR El Criollito Short Gordo

Authentic flavour from the Dominican Republic

The PDR El Criollito Short Gordo comes from the renowned PDR Cigars factory in Tamboril, Dominican Republic. Under the guidance of Master Blender Abe Flores, cigars are crafted here that combine craftsmanship with an expressive blend. The El Criollito series combines Dominican and Nicaraguan tobaccos with a delicately spicy Ecuador Criollo wrapper. In the Short Gordo format, the aromatic profile unfolds in a full-bodied, concentrated and intense manner – ideal for short but powerful moments of enjoyment.

Spicy, full-bodied, concentrated

The El Criollito Short Gordo is aimed at aficionados seeking an intense flavour experience in a short space of time. Thanks to its thicker ring gauge, it produces a rich smoke with notes of roasted coffee, pepper, wood and a creamy undertone. Despite its short format, the cigar impresses with its depth and structure. The strength ranges from mild to medium, whilst the format ensures direct, rich access to the aromas.
