Juan Cano Sainz and his wife lived above their warehouse on 39 Bernaza Street in Old Havana, Cuba. Their three children were all born in this house and after a while shifted to a town house on the corner of Teniente Rey and Bernaza Street; the birthplace of La Flor de Cano. In 1932 Juan hired a cigar maker to roll cigars on his kitchen table. Sales increased quickly and a second cigar maker was hired to keep up with growing demand. As his customer base continued to grow Juan established his own company and created a brand under his family’s name; La Flor de Cano. The brand gained its esteemed reputation in the 1980s by offering brilliantly crafted cigars made from the finest tobacco.

Made exclusively by Habanos SA for the The Pacific Cigar Company, the Por Larranaga Robustos LE 2007 will be exclusive to the Asia Pacific region for the next two years. The robusto size was undoubtedly chosen as the 2007 regional edition due to the current trend of shorter, thicker gauge cigars. Por Larranaga has never released a robusto cigar in its portfolio making this regional release unique. The Por Larranaga Robusto has a length of 124mm with a 50 ring gauge size (19.8mm diameter) and looks majestic with its gold and silver double bands. The impeccable construction and appearance will also impress with its dark and oily wrapper.
