This limited-edition offering is presented in a ten-count box, featuring eight Lanceros and one Culebra comprised of 2 intertwined cigars. —an exceptionally rare vitola made from cigars twisted and tied at both ends. Only one roller at Plasencia has the skill to craft the Culebras, as they are among the most challenging cigars to create.

El Año de la Culebra is a Nicaraguan puro that captivates with its bold intensity and intricate complexity from the very first draw. It unfolds with the evocative essence of petrichor, transitioning into the rich, refined character of sherry oak barrel. As the experience deepens, layers of roasted chestnuts and creamy sweetness emerge, intertwined with fresh herbal nuances. The journey concludes with a warming touch of cloves, creating a memorable and sophisticated profile.
