For many years the only standard size of Por Larrañaga available in the United Kingdom was the Petit Corona, in Cabinet Selection bundles of 50 ci**rs. Happily, there are more options for fans of the brand today. The Montecarlos 6 1⁄4” (159mm) x 33, Picadores (5” (127mm) x 48 and Galanes 4 3⁄4” (120mm) x 52 bring the selection of vitolas up to four.
The Larrañaga 47s have not been made in the La Corona factory. A smaller factory, located in the east of the island and named Empresa de Acopio, Beneficio y Torcido de Tabaco Holguín, was selected for the task. It was chosen primarily due to its long-standing association with the Julieta No.2 size and, in particular, the Romeo y Julieta Churchill which is a speciality there. There is no better place to produce these rare ci**rs.
The Larrañaga 47 is housed in a Semi Boîte Nature box of fifty ci**rs, the first time a UK Regional has been presented this way. Unlike most Havana boxes of this size, the ci**rs are layered (three rows of thirteen and one row of eleven) rather than tied into a bundle with ribbon. This is style of box is considered an outstanding way of ageing ci**rs in the medium and long term. Among those lucky enough to have smoked these ci**rs there is already a consensus that, although they are ready to smoke today, they will continue to mature and develop for many years to come.
