Description

The PDR El Criollito Short Gordo epitomises Dominican cigar boldness in a compact powerhouse, measuring precisely 4 1/4 inches in length by a girthy 58 ring gauge. Handcrafted to honour legendary blender Abe Flores, its lustrous Ecuadorian Criollo ’98 wrapper over a Mexican San Andrés binder and premium Dominican-Nicaraguan Criollo ’98 long-filler tobaccos ensures impeccable entubado construction for flawless draw and burn. Ignition unleashes a 35–45-minute medium-bodied odyssey. The first third surges with intense white pepper and toasted almonds, grounded by rich coffee bean and aromatic sweet cedar. Midway, earth, cinnamon spice, dark leather, and creamy cocoa emerge, yielding nuanced tobacco nectar. The nub crescendos with refined retrohale, lingering nuttiness, and woodsy elegance through voluminous, cool smoke with a razor-sharp silvery ash that endures. Ideal for connoisseurs craving profound complexity in brief, potent sessions, store at 65–70% humidity in a humidor. Pair seamlessly with bourbon, porter, espresso, or aged rum to amplify its layered profile. This Short Gordo fuses puissance, finesse, and value—a steadfast tribute to Flores’ artistry, perfect for midday vigour or contemplative evenings.
