New UK regional 2021 Larranaga 47

[cohibaIV]

So. Still had a mouthful of PL47 this morning! That's how much oiliness there was after about halfway through the cigar. Really great start, smooth, great aroma after light and quickly developed into some sweet and later minty aromas. I guess they put something up front to excite right away and make you take note. Good start. Its not a strong cigar. I prefer milder cigars. But it was tasty and smooth throughout, definitely changed up throughout. And it was a joy to retro-hale all the way through. It built up to medium in the last third I'd say. Draw slightly on the easy side. A couple of comments from others that is was a bit firmer, so may vary. Whisky was being poured non stop! Lost count how many pours I had. Mitch kept advising to divide the number by 7 or 8! So maybe i had 1 or 2 drams using that math scale! :P They also gave us a PLPC while we were waiting for 6.30 and a RyJ Petit Royales take away. Mitch was offering anyone another cigar too if they had finished the PL47 early. He had and had time for a La Trova after too!

So overall really nice rich tasty and very aromatic cigar, on the milder side. Could have had more intensity but i think it was blended as an easy cigar you could smoke back to back. Not overpowering at all. Took me the full 2hrs to finish.

Guy next to me was asking how i think it would age. No idea!

Did I enjoy it? Totally. Am I buying a box? Get outta town!

Great write up mate…..

Excellent write up and good to hear it’s not too strong. I also like a medium strength with lots of aroma.

Gonna get my hands on some

Looks like a great cigar, looking forward to bringing my allocation home to the family.

Having said that, this and in particular the last RA seems to me to be the biggest profit scam in UK cigar history. These rolls cost a fraction more than ordinary smokes for H&F to get produced (I’d bet), and from there to this retail price is borderlining “how to F… your customers”.
I am aware that a lot of new boxes go straight to BR for double the price, but I also believe those numbers are small.
And it doesn’t justify the scam.

This is a UK regional right? What is on the regional band? Normally it's something else from what I remember from the other UK regionals?

The Spanish words for UK. Reino Unido.

Yeah several have used that band as well. Not sure why they swap about.

[Stevieboy]

It used to be Gran Bretaña but that of course didn't include NI so it was changed to Reino Unido to include our Irish brothers

Several of the early ones were Reino Unido, then they switched to Gran Bretana, now back to Reino.
