PDR 1878 Santiago Maduro was created as a tribute to the cigar‑making heritage of Santiago de los Caballeros and to PDR’s roots in the city. The blend centers on Criollo 98 seco and ligero in the filler, supported by a Dominican binder and finished with a dark capa madura wrapper from Mexico. It reflects the character of the 1878 series while keeping the construction easy to draw and steady from start to finish.

The profile is smooth and balanced, offering subtle spice with touches of wood, herbs, and a gentle sweetness on the finish. It is approachable at any time of day, with enough depth to stay engaging without ever feeling heavy.
