[6] Por Larrañaga's initiative to implement automated cigar manufacturing in the region triggered strikes and a boycott among factory cigar-rollers.

Production operations transitioned from the Carlos III Street facility in Havana to the La Corona factory situated at Avenida 20 de Mayo.

From 2002 onwards, all vitolas (cigar sizes) were exclusively crafted by hand, employing long-filler or short-filler leaf sourced from the Vuelta Abajo region.

In 2006, Habanos manufactured a limited quantity of Por Larrañaga Lonsdales, a vitola that had been discontinued and was deeply missed by brand enthusiasts.

Measuring 6+3⁄4 inches in length with a ring gauge of 50, this cigar was meticulously crafted to recreate the dimensions and taste profile of the 1970s Por Larranaga Magnum.
