Tabacalera D\u00edaz Cabrera announces the upcoming launch of the new cigar commemorating the anniversary of its creator, Eladio D\u00edaz, who will turn 72 in May.<\/p>\n
Eladio D\u00edaz LXXII Anniversary North and South Edition, the traditional cigar for Eladio D\u00edaz’s birthday, will reach the markets in July, but Tabacalera D\u00edaz Cabrera has already officially presented it. Format 165 mm x 52 (6 \u00bd x 52), it is a limited and numbered edition of 2,500 12-count boxes (30,000 cigars in total), with a 100% Dominican blend.<\/p>\n
The new Eladio D\u00edaz limited edition is called \u201cNorth and South Edition\u201d because its blend is composed with tobaccos from the Cibao Valley, north of the Cordillera Central, the mountains that divides La Espa\u00f1ola in two, and leaves from the San Juan de la Maguana Valley, in the south of the country. About this new tobacco growing area and its development with the support of the Dominican government, Cigar Journal published a long report in its September 2024 edition (Edition 3\/24).<\/p>\n
Tobacco cultivation in San Juan has been taking place for a relatively short time, but with very good results and, above all, with the intention of achieve nice Dominican wrappers. In fact, the wrapper of the new Eladio D\u00edaz LXXII Anniversary is an corojo original seed, aged four years, from the San Juan de la Maguana valley. The other elements are one leaf of Negrito San Andr\u00e9s in the binder, also grown in San Juan, and four tobaccos in the filler, a Piloto Cubano from Cibao with three more from the south.<\/p>\n
Birthday Cigar<\/p>\n
The tradition of Eladio D\u00edaz’s birthday cigar comes from his time as master blender in Tabadom, Davidoff. It was in 2003, on the occasion of his fiftieth birthday, when he first prepared a special blend to be given to friends and visitors. Since then, and without interruption, Eladio D\u00edaz has created a new cigar with a different blend to celebrate his birthday, which is in May 28th. Since 2021, already retired from Davidoff, the seventy, seventy-one and, now, seventy-two editions have been made at the new Tabacalera D\u00edaz Cabrera.<\/p>\n
Eladio D\u00edaz himself describes the cigar as a \u201ccreamy, slightly spicy tobacco, with notes of coffee, cocoa, almonds and a mild acidity that moistens the mouth without causing excessive salivation.\u201d With an intensity, in his opinion, 7 out of 10, D\u00edaz assures that the impact of the San Juan wrapper is evident in the smoke, due to the fact that it has been grown in the sun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
