For CLE Cigar Company, the 2026 PCA Show in New Orleans is an opportunity to honor where the Eiroa family came from\u2014and to make a case for where it’s headed. The centerpiece of its PCA showing is the 1916 Tabacalera Eiroa, a new line developed by fourth-generation tobacco man Santiago „Santi“ Eiroa, with the name nodding to the year his great-grandfather Generoso first began cultivating tobacco\u2014a tradition now 110 years in the making.<\/p>\n
The blend draws on tobaccos that have been part of the Eiroa family story for generations, most notably Original Corojo and the exceedingly rare Pinare\u00f1o seed\u2014a Cuban-origin varietal that the family has carefully preserved and grown for decades. Both the wrapper and binder are made from five-year-aged Habano leaf, reflecting a commitment to patience and craft that runs through the entire project. Santi has described the blend as landing somewhere between the lighter preferences of his grandfather and the fuller-bodied palate of his father\u2014a generational middle ground in cigar form.<\/p>\n
The 1916 Tabacalera Eiroa will be offered in five vitolas, each packaged in 18-count boxes: Robusto (5 x 50, $16), The Personal (5 \u00bd x 44 $16.50), Toro (6 x 52, $17), Belicoso (6\u00bd x 50, $18), and El Gordo (5\u00bd x 60, $19). Shipments are expected to begin in May or June 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
