CLE Limitada

The Eiroa family has long been one of the defining forces in the Central American cigar scene. In the 1990s, they took over the Camacho brand from Simon Camacho and, thanks to their work with the now-legendary Corojo wrappers, elevated the cigars to international renown. This particular tobacco variety made Honduran cigars highly sought after around the world. When the brand was sold to the Davidoff Group in 2008, Christian Eiroa remained with the company for another two years before briefly stepping away from the industry entirely. But by 2012, he returned with his own cigars – reconnecting with what had always mattered most to him: using tobacco from his own fields and working with people he trusts. This return to family roots now forms the backbone of two product lines that stem from the same philosophy but follow distinct directions: the more accessible CLE and the more character-driven Eiroa. Both brands represent a return to the Eiroa family's origins – yet with clearly differentiated profiles.

Limitada 2025: Honduras Meets Colombian Tobacco

The CLE Limitada 2025 cigar is aimed at aficionados seeking an intense, characterful cigar that works equally well for a brief break or a deliberate exploration. This featured Limitada 2025 marks the beginning of a series that will hopefully see additional vitolas added in the coming years. Thanks to a filler made from Honduran and Colombian tobaccos aged for at least three years, the result is a harmonious blend that maintains a clear aromatic profile while offering enough complexity to appeal to seasoned connoisseurs. Like the Eiroa Limitada 2025, it uses a Corojo binder from Honduras, topped with a Cameroon wrapper grown on the family’s own farms in Honduras.

Christian Eiroa and the Return of Corojo Cigars

This line closely follows the CLE philosophy, which is based on precision, estate-grown tobaccos, and tightly controlled production. With this series, Christian Eiroa relies almost exclusively on Honduran tobaccos, which are rested for several years before being processed. The blend draws on varietals typically grown in the Jamastrán and El Paraiso regions – areas known for their mineral-rich soils and stable climate. These origins contribute to a clean, straightforward flavor profile that is typical of the brand without relying solely on branding aesthetics. In direct comparison, the Eiroa cigars from the same house are a touch more exclusive and distinctive – an easy way to remember it is that when his name is on the band, you can expect something a bit “more special.”
