 Honduras, HVC Cigars, HVC Pan Caliente, Nicaraguan Criollo, Nicaraguan Criollo ’98, Raices Cubanas, Reiner Lorenzo Through a slightly snug draw that serves me well, come natural tobacco flavors that bring on some bready sweetness from this Nicaraguan (Criollo ’98) wrapped HVC Pan Caliente in Toro by HVC Cigars.  A pure delight for my first cigar of the day. The retrohale offers up some white pepper spice that brings a slight zing.

Coming on to the second third, leather joins the party and that makes me happy enough to just sit and enjoy the rest of this dandy… this cigar is a dandy throwback with a “Classic” old-fashioned Cuban Vibe.

I definitely will raid my TupperDor to smoke these more often.

 Honduras, HVC Cigars, HVC Pan Caliente, Nicaraguan Criollo, Nicaraguan Criollo ’98, Raices Cubanas, Reiner Lorenzo Today was my first time with this Vitola and I’m glad I choose this to smoke today.

This “Rustic” beauty in the HVC Pan Caliente in Toro by HVC Cigars with its “Cuban Style” 109 cap is quite something to savor. I’ve been lovin’ on these HVC blends recently… this one is working its way to #BoxWorthy status!

I can’t wait until the next time I smoke this HVC Pan Caliente.
