Why Choose the Belicosos Finos SLB

• A classic vitola from one of Cuba’s most potent brands — ideal for those who appreciate serious flavour and strength.

• The SLB format offers presentation and aging potential — a good choice for both immediate enjoyment and humidor reserve.

• With length of ~5½″ and ring gauge of 52, it offers a balance of size and substance — shorter than some large formats, yet rich in flavour.

Serving & Pairing Suggestions

• Best enjoyed with a strong espresso, dark rum, or aged single-malt whisky to complement the cigar’s depth and spice.

• Store in humidor at ~65-70% relative humidity and ~18-21°C for optimal preservation of flavour and wrapper condition.

• Because of the full body and larger ring gauge, take moderate, measured draws rather than rapid puffs to avoid overheating.

• Suitable for a relaxed afternoon or after-dinner smoke when you can savour ~45-60 minutes.
