HVC Pan Caliente
Bring the heat—Pan Caliente translates to “hot bread,” signaling fresh-baked flavor straight from HVC’s Cuban-inspired ovens. Rolled at the acclaimed Raíces Cubanas factory, this medium-bodied Nicaraguan puro layers spice, sweet tobacco, and toasty cedar into a perfectly balanced everyday smoke.
- 100 % Nicaraguan Criollo tobacco for a truly authentic, earthy-sweet profile
- Raíces Cubanas construction—razor-straight burn and effortless draw
- Cinnamon-to-coffee flavor progression keeps your palate engaged
- Versatile medium strength welcomes newcomers yet satisfies seasoned aficionados
The first puffs greet you with cinnamon, white pepper, and dried-fruit sweetness. Mid-way, roasted nuts and light syrup notes emerge, while the final third adds subtle cocoa and fresh-brewed coffee. Thanks to meticulous fermentation, the Criollo wrapper glows with natural oils, ensuring consistent combustion and aromatic smoke. Whether paired with morning java or an evening bourbon, Pan Caliente’s warm bakery vibe makes every session feel like comfort food for cigar lovers.

Not too crazy about this cigar, perhaps the condition, not really bad, but not much really to deliver, will try to get a couple more for double check.
