In 2008, Christian Luis Eiroa (CLE) sold his eponymous Camacho Brand to Davidoff. He had a 5 year non-compete agreement, and the moment that was up in 2012, he launched his new brand. CLE Cigar Company came out of the gate with a bang at launch. It’s no surprise given the company’s pedigree. Wasting no time, he developed a series of well-regarded blends and worked his tobacco and marketing magic to create one of the hottest new(er) cigar companies on th7//e market. Each and every cigar they produce is made with precision, care, and excellence. That’s not just marketing hype. He has elevated his craft and only uses the finest tobacco available to create his blends. Most feature some of his family’s exclusive Honduran Authentic Corojo tobacco as it provides the signature flavor and aroma that his fans have come to expect.
The CLE Connecticut is no exception to the creativity of the Eiroa family. It’s a tricky proposition to blend a milder, large-ring gauge cigar that’s not bland and boring. This Connecticut strikes the perfect balance of flavor and strength. Made in his father’s Aladino cigar factory in Honduras, the CLE Connecticut features Honduran filler and binder tobacco with an exceptional Connecticut wrapper grown in Ecuador. This golden-looking cigar is mild-medium in strength but has wonderful, rich flavors of cream, nuts, and earth notes balanced with hints of leather and black pepper. It has a nice crisp finish that is highly enjoyable.
