Brand Story 

José L. Piedra is a very special brand. Unlike most Habanos, the leaves used to make its vitolas come exclusively from the Vuelta Arriba region.

Originally from Asturias, the Piedra family arrived in Cuba in the 1880s. They settled down and started producing cigars near the town of Santa Clara, in the heart of the Vuelta Arriba region, where tobacco growing had been going on since the 16th century.
It was José Lamadrid Piedra, of the second Piedra generation, who was to create and develop the brand as we know it today.

The José L. Piedra vitolas are all made totally by hand, tripa corta.

Product Detail 

It's amazing the depth of flavour that the short leaf unfolds in the long format! The intense spiciness offers soft peatiness alongside lighter, spicy coffee aromas and spices; plus quite pronounced, beautiful leather notes. In the background, discreet fermentation is sometimes noticeable. The development is of course, as with all short fillers, quite linear. But the flavour becomes more concentrated puff by puff. All in all, a particularly hearty smoke, tending to be more for experienced smokers.
