Criollo 1765

 

            As a core Line of HPC’s ''All Honduran Tobacco Series’', the Criollo 1765 blend has been created using not only Honduran tobaccos but using aged Criollo tobaccos grown in different regions of the country for its wrapper, binder and filler. Its name is also a reminder of the cigar making history of Honduras, when as a Spanish Colony in 1765, the “Royal Tobacco Factory” of Santa Rosa de los Llanos, now Santa Rosa de Copán, was founded.

            Nothing better than a blend made of the original tobacco strain, to pay tribute to this glorious past. Habano Criollo strain, or “native seed,” is thought to have been used by the natives for their cigars, during the time when Christopher Columbus arrived in the Americas and for the centuries to come after this event.

            The Criollo 1765 is a tasty mild to medium bodied cigar, carrying complexity in the form of chestnuts, cedar, cashews, and black pepper with an underlying earthiness. The finish is long and smooth. A very well-constructed cigar, smoking consistently and burning evenly, delivering earthy, nutty taste with a fair amount of spice.
