Brand Context
Por Larrañaga represents one of the oldest Cuban cigar brands still in production, with roots dating back to 1834. The selection of this prestigious marca for an Italian regional edition reflects the strong Cuban-Italian cigar trade relationship and the sophisticated Italian market's appreciation for traditional Cuban tobacco craftsmanship.
