1916 Tabacalera Eiroa The Personal

1916 Tabacalera Eiroa The Personal

As a groundbreaking new premium series from C.L.E. Cigar Co., the 1916 Tabacalera Eiroa is a timeless masterpiece that deeply honors the Eiroa family's tobacco cultivation legacy spanning over a century. Its historical roots trace back to 1916, the year when pioneer Generoso Eiroa first sowed tobacco seeds, initiating the family's glorious century-long journey.

This cigar was personally blended by Santi Eiroa, the fourth-generation master blender of the family. It not only faithfully upholds the orthodox craftsmanship established by his predecessors but also offers a fresh interpretation of family tradition through a modern lens. In terms of tobacco blending, the entire cigar meticulously selects authentic Original Corojo cultivated in the Eiroa family's own Honduran plantations, as well as exceptionally rare aged Pinareño-seed tobacco. This "The Personal" size, in particular, breaks away from the modern trend of large ring gauges, returning to old-school tradition with a classic 44 ring gauge. It presents a textbook-perfect balance of powerful and solid feedback with delicate and elegant smoothness for connoisseurs.

The Pinnacle of the CLE Portfolio
The 1916 Tabacalera Eiroa is not only a commemorative piece of the Eiroa family's century-long heritage but also the most high-end and flagship product series ever positioned by C.L.E. Cigar Co. From tobacco selection and aging processes to packaging design, the 1916 series represents the Eiroa family's highest expression of their tobacco traditions. This series brings together the family's most precious Corojo and Pinareño tobacco resources and was personally spearheaded by fourth-generation heir Santi Eiroa, considered a significant milestone marking C.L.E.'s entry into a new era. For C.L.E. enthusiasts, the 1916 is not just a new product, but the pinnacle flagship series of the brand's pyramid.

Why The Personal?
Among the entire 1916 Tabacalera Eiroa series, The Personal is one of the most collectible and scarce sizes. This size originates from Santi Eiroa's personal favorite traditional size, and it was also the size he most frequently chose when smoking cigars with his father Christian Eiroa and grandfather Julio Eiroa in his youth. Therefore, this cigar was given the highly commemorative name "The Personal."

More importantly, The Personal is not a mass-produced regular product. Due to the extremely high complexity of rolling the 44-ring gauge, demanding exquisite craftsmanship, and the use of tobacco from the highest-grade selected batches of the 1916 series, the production of this size is extremely limited, allocated only to a select few authorized retailers. For collectors and loyal devotees of the Eiroa family, The Personal is not just a cigar but a highly commemorative limited edition collectible. In an era dominated by large ring gauge products, adhering to the traditional 44-ring gauge size is already very rare. When this old-school tradition is combined with the 1916's top-tier ingredients and ultra-limited allocation, The Personal is undoubtedly the pinnacle of the entire series, most worthy of being added to a humidor.
