Construction and Presentation
The Quintero Puritos is a machine-made cigar, reflecting the practical, accessible nature that has long defined the Quintero marque. This method of construction ensures consistency across production runs while keeping the cigar affordable for everyday enjoyment.
Each cigar features a miniature band design derived from Quintero's standard band A, maintaining visual continuity with the brand's established identity despite the smaller format.
Packaging Options
The Puritos is offered in two distinct packaging configurations to suit different purchasing preferences:
- Cardboard pack containing 5 cigars, each wrapped in cellophane
- Rigid cardboard box holding 25 cigars, individually cellophaned
The cellophane wrapping helps preserve freshness and protects the delicate wrapper during transport and storage, an important consideration for these slender vitolas.
The Chicos Vitola
Known by its factory name "Chicos," this vitola falls squarely within the small cigar category. With its slender 29 ring gauge and modest 106 mm length, the Puritos delivers a relatively quick smoking session—ideal for moments when time is limited but the desire for a Cuban cigar remains.
