In 2011, Elogio released Excepcionales, an extremely limited release that bucked the trend of what had otherwise been relatively conservative cigars. It was a massive double perfecto that was reminiscent of Drew Estate’s Egg and Arturo Fuente’s OpusX Football. A year later, it debuted Excéntrico, a limited edition torpedo that featured a head akin to Arturo Fuente’s BBMF vitola. Since then, Elogio has released an Excéntrico each year making this the fourth year for the limited edition line. This year was a 6 x 60 torpedo with a cap just like the original release. It uses an Ecuadorian habano wrapper, Nicaraguan habano binder and fillers including ligero from Estelí and Jalapa, seco from Jalapa and viso from Ometepe.
