Privada Storytelling
The CLE 25th Anniversary 11/18 stands as a living tribute to Christian Eiroa’s 25 years in the cigar industry, celebrating the journey from the early Camacho days to his modern Honduran empire under CLE. Crafted at the Eiroa family’s El Aladino factory in Honduras, this cigar is a masterclass in balance and maturity — a pure Honduran puro built entirely from Eiroa’s own Corojo tobacco fields in the Jamastrán Valley.
The distinctive 11/18 shape (a signature of the Eiroa family) creates a slow, rolling evolution of flavor — narrow at the ends, wider in the middle — delivering depth, heat, and aroma in waves. Each puff feels like an homage to the past 25 years of dedication to tobacco excellence. It’s not a victory lap; it’s a statement of legacy.
Flavor Journey
The cigar opens with bold Honduran spice — black pepper and earth — balanced by cedar and sweet cream. Midway through, espresso and molasses rise, melding with toasted almond and a touch of dark cocoa. In the final third, the body deepens into sweet spice and oak, finishing smooth and refined with lingering warmth and sweetness. Full-bodied yet graceful, it’s the kind of smoke that defines an era.
Why It Belongs in Privada
Privada exists to celebrate craft, heritage, and innovation — and the CLE 25th Anniversary 11/18 is all three. It embodies Christian Eiroa’s journey from family tradition to industry icon, showcasing the power of pure Honduran Corojo in a shape only the Eiroas could perfect. This cigar belongs in Privada because it’s a celebration of time, craft, and authentic passion — the kind that only 25 years in the leaf can create.
