Eiroa Jamastran November 18

Eiroa Jamastran 11/18

The Eiroa Jamastran 11/18 is a pure tribute to Honduras's most prestigious Jamastran Valley. A proud signature piece of the Christian Eiroa family, this cigar is made entirely from the rarest Authentic Corojo tobacco from their own estate. The designation 11/18 not only represents Christian's mother's birthday (November 18th) but also signifies the Eiroa family's uniquely designed and highly ergonomic size. Made with 100% Honduran Puro, it showcases the captivating power and complex oiliness of top-quality Corojo tobacco.

Physical specifications:

• Dimensions: 6 1/4 × 52 / 60 (cylindrical).
• Craftsmanship: The 11/18 is a cylindrical cigar (Parejo) with a very muscular appearance. Its uniqueness lies in the subtle differences in the rolling technique, which gives it a heavy and extremely solid structure at a length of 6 1/4 inches.
• 100% Honduran heritage: From wrapper and binder to filler, all are made from top-quality tobacco leaves sourced from Eiroa’s own farms in the Hamastlán Valley. Eiroa insists on using purebred, uncrossed Corojo seeds, a tobacco variety known for its extreme difficulty in cultivation and high yield loss, but which results in unparalleled flavor richness.

Flavor Ladder: The Deep Evolution of the Primitive Corojo

Initial Notes: Upon lighting, a strong roasted aroma and the typical earthy fragrance of Honduras quickly fill the palate. The Hamastella soil imparts a distinct minerality and black pepper spiciness to this cigar. As a full-bodied opening, it displays a direct and robust beauty. Mid-Plate Notes: As the burn progresses into its core, the characteristic oiliness of Corojo tobacco begins to emerge. The flavors evolve into a rich blend of dark chocolate, espresso, and aged leather. Despite its strength, the long aging process of the tobacco results in a surprisingly smooth finish in the throat, with the balance of sweetness and spiciness reaching its peak. Finish: As the burn deepens, the flavors become even more profound. Cinnamon, cedarwood, and rich nutty caramel intertwine, creating a lingering, rich, and oily finish. Even in its final stages, the structure remains solid, the smoke pure and unadulterated, perfectly embodying the essence of the "King of Hamastella."

Recommendation reason

• A physical testament to the family's spirit: The 11/18 size is Eiroa's visual calling card. Compared to the regular size, it offers greater smoke output and a richer aroma profile, making it the top choice for seasoned cigar connoisseurs exploring the depths of Honduran tobacco.
• The Unreplicable Authentic Corojo: Very few brands in the world dare to attempt blending 100% pure Corojo, as this requires extremely advanced aging techniques. Eiroa, through its Jamastran series, once again defends its industry status as the "Master of Corojo."

Eiroa Jamastran 11/18 is a sensory journey back to one's roots and land. In its purest form, it recreates for you, amidst every wisp of rich, oily smoke, the glory and dignity of half a century that belonged to the Hamastran Valley.
