In 2013, CLE released two new cigars: CLE Plus and the Eiroa. I first tried the Eiroa over the winner at the Cigar Lounge of Starkville in Starkville, MS. They had two size available at the time so I bought both to try out. While hanging out there, I first smoked the the Eiroa Prensado. It is such a great size. Its a small boxed press Rothschild size cigar that just looks like it would be a nice smoke. The Eiroa is an all Honduran puro and comes in 4 sizes:
Sizes
- Prensado: 4 x 48
- Robusto: 5 x 50
- Toro: 6 x 54
- Sixty: 6 x 60
Blend
- Wrapper: Honduran
- Binder: Honduran
- Filler: Honduran
I have since smoked the robusto and toro, but I think the Prensado is the jewel of the line. It has well balanced flavors and great construction. I get a little more sweetness and coffee notes in the Prensado then I do the other, larger ring gauge vitolas. This is great for me since coffee is one of my favorite notes in a cigar and I hate large ring gauges. They come in a box of 10 and retails for about $9.00 a cigar. For me, its a no brainer. Box worthy.
