Don Felo
cigars are handmade in Honduras, using 100% Habano seed tobacco. They were
launched to the market in 2010, offering enthusiasts a quality option at
accessible prices. They are produced by Rancho Jamastran, the same company that
manufactures recognized brands like Baccarat and Camacho.
The Habano
tobacco leaves give Don Felo cigars a flavor profile that combines the earthy
and rich notes characteristic of Cuban tobacco with a Honduran touch that adds
smoothness and approachability. The production process, from tobacco
cultivation to rolling, is done artisanal, ensuring consistency and quality in
each cigar.
These
cigars stand out for their smooth to medium flavor, ideal for smokers who
prefer a lighter smoke without too much strength. The predominant notes include
earthiness and a slight sweetness, with a creamy aftertaste. Subtle woody and
spicy hints are often present, making them appealing to those seeking a more
complex experience without being overwhelming.
Variety
of Sizes:
The Don
Felo cigar line offers several traditional sizes, such as Churchill, Robusto,
and Corona, and additionally manufactures non-traditional formats like
Panetela, Presidente, Felitos, and Solitos, each designed to provide a specific
smoking experience in terms of duration and intensity.
- Churchill: At 7 inches long with a 48-ring
gauge, it's ideal for a longer, relaxed smoke. Its length allows for a
more complex flavor evolution, starting gently and intensifying
progressively.
- Robusto: Measuring 5 inches long and
with a 50-ring gauge, it offers a shorter yet equally rich smoke. Its
robust construction ensures good combustion and draw, making it a
preferred choice for a quick yet satisfying smoke.
- Corona: A classic option, measuring 5
1/2 X 44, suitable for smokers seeking a balanced experience in terms of
duration and intensity.
The
non-traditional formats offer more options for those seeking variations in
size, smoking duration, and intensity:
- Panetela: These are thinner and longer
cigars, with a 38-ring gauge and a length of 6 1/8 inches. Due to their
smaller gauge, the smoke is faster and more concentrated, intensifying the
tobacco flavors. This format is ideal for those looking for a brief yet
rich experience. Moreover, the draw is more precise, allowing for even
combustion.
- Presidente: This format is long and
robust, with a 50-ring gauge and a length of 7 inches, ideal for those
seeking an extended and leisurely smoke that allows appreciating the
evolution of flavors in all their richness.
- Felitos: These are small cigars
designed for a short smoke, generally with a 32-ring gauge and a length of
4 3/4 inches. They provide a quick and accessible smoke, with flavors
perceived more intensely due to their reduced size.
- Solitos: Even smaller than Felitos,
with a length of 3 3/4 inches and a 32-ring gauge. This format is the
shortest and is ideal for those seeking an ultra-quick experience while
keeping the flavor profile intact.
Non-traditional
formats like Panetela, Presidente, Felitos, and Solitos offer smokers greater
flexibility and adaptability according to the moment and personal preference.
Whether it's a quick smoke with a Solito or a longer, more complex experience
with a Presidente, Don Felo provides an option for every situation.
Don Felo's
approach has been to provide products that maintain a high standard of quality
at an accessible price. Although they do not have the same international fame
as brands like Camacho or Baccarat, Don Felo has carved out a solid niche among
smokers who enjoy smoking daily or on special occasions without worrying about
cost.
In our
store, all formats are available. Don't miss the chance to try them.
