It may seem hard to believe, but it’s been just over 20 years that Christian Eiroa has been in the cigar business, coming to prominence by way of the Camacho brand and his father’s company, Caribe Imported Cigars, and then branching out with his own CLE Cigar Co. which was launched in 2012 following the sale of Camacho to Davidoff in 2008. Not hard to believe, however, is that Eiroa kept with the tradition of how those in the cigar industry celebrate and commemorate milestones and released a new cigar line, appropriately called Eiroa The First 20 Years. Behind the cigar is a crop of tobaccos blended by his father, Julio, grown by him in Honduras’s Jamastran Valley. The blend is highlighted by the binder, which is said to be an heirloom crop of tobacco that hasn’t been used in more than 50 years. The line is being offered in three sizes: Robusto (5 x 50, $12), Prensado (6 x 46, $12), Toro (6 x 54, $13) and a 6 x 60 ($14). All four sizes come in 20-count boxes and are produced at Eiroa’s El Aladino factory in Danlí, Honduras. Cigar Reviewed: Country of Origin: Factory: Wrapper: Binder: Filler: ...
