A Slender Cuban Por Larrañaga Just For Switzerland

For the Swiss, this is more than just a skinny cigar—it’s an act of resistance

 Laguito No. 2

30 Swiss francs apiece

I am salivating.

$38 PL panatela seems crazy to me.

[Garand]

I am sticking with the regular production PL cigars. $ 38 US is too much.

[ha_banos]

Yup. Trouble is there's always someone to buy them. There's always someone to buy them on BR too!

It’s $86 for a Monty #4 at my local B&M, $38 doesn’t seem so bad. 🤣

I had one of these a little while back. Either they were pre-production or fake, I don't know, but I got it through one of my Chinese friends, so who knows?

It was a tent peg, totally plugged and what I did get off it was fresh ammonia. I was going to make a video for my YouTube Channel on it, but it just didn't work out. Still, I can't wait to get a hold of a box of these, give them some rest, and make sure my PerfecDraw is on hand.

I heard this recently referred to as the "Cuban Tax"  

"Rob, I buy a 25 count box expecting 20 sticks to smoke well enough to great. The rest is the Cuban Tax"

Hopefully, this is a case of the aforementioned “Cuban tax” and not the norm. I’m fortunate that my brother, who lives in Switzerland, could swing by an LCDH after work yesterday to pick me up a box. They've been listed as “out of stock” on that same store’s website when I checked this morning, so I’m grateful for managing to get it at retail. 

They are pricey, but I’m just a complete sucker for anything Laguito No.2 (and PL, so the perfect pairing really). Been enjoying all the recent ER releases in that vitola.

I am waiting for the new PL DC Alemania. It will be hopefully cheaper and in Cabs.

I haven't heard anything. Por Larranaga Double Corona for Germany? 

[HabanosGuy]

They came out end of June, and since then I've been able to smoke a few of these beautiful Laguito No. 2s. The boxing dates were either ABR 25 or MAY 25. Fantastic smokes, with no harshness or construction issues.

We now have a deal with Swiss! Free cigar trade for all! 🤣🤣🤣
