In the golden universe of Habanos, where time ceases to be a simple chronological coordinate and becomes raw material, there are brands that choose the path of whispers rather than that of clamor. By Larrañaga, founded in Havana way back in 1834, is the archetype of this philosophy. We're talking about one of the oldest cigar houses still in operation in the world, a brand discreet by nature and reserved by vocation, whose deliberately small vitolario responds to an absolute requirement: impeccability.
It is in this context of absolute excellence that the highly anticipated Por Larrañaga Intemporales, the new one Regional Edition Suiza (2023) distributed by the official importer Intertabak AG, ready to debut on the Swiss market. This release isn't just a commercial novelty, but a true statement of intent for the most discerning slow-smoking enthusiasts.
A name that celebrates time and craftsmanship
The name chosen for this edition, Intemporales, contains a profound meaning. It evokes everything that crosses the ages without ever bowing to passing fashions or the ephemeral. In Cuban manufactures, the constancy of the know-how It is passed down unchanged from generation to generation; Intemporales aims to celebrate the permanence of this artisanal gesture, embodying a vision of the cigar as a pure object of contemplation to be conquered and appreciated with the necessary slowness.
Laguito No. 2: the unconventional choice of cepo 38
The real element of rupture and, at the same time, of exquisite classicism, lies in the chosen vitola: the Laguito No. 2, characterized by a head of 38 and a length of 152 mm.
In a contemporary market that for years has been moving towards imposing, large and muscular formats, the choice of such a slender format, almost ascetic in its proportions, represents an authentic act of elegant resistance. The Laguito No. 2 belongs to the noblest tradition of fine Cuban cigars. It is the vitola dedicated to enthusiasts who reject immediate impact and raw power, preferring an aromatic complexity and an evolution that can only unfold through patience and attentive listening to the smoke.
