La Palina El Ano 1896 Robusto Oscuro cigars (5" x 52) are a solid representation of Dominican tobacco. Each part of this cigar is harvested and delicately rolled by hand in the Dominican Republic by veteran rollers. El Ano 1896 delivers a medium to full body flavor which is slightly bolder than you may be used to from Dominican smokes but, boy, is this a tasty treat.
