Privada Storytelling
The CLE PCA Exclusive 2023 is more than a trade show release—it’s a statement from Christian Eiroa about the timeless power of Honduran tobacco. Built around the rich, bold, and complex characteristics of Corojo leaf, this exclusive cigar is a masterclass in balance. It’s full of character yet approachable, spicy yet creamy, and bold without sacrificing finesse.
This cigar was made to stand out among hundreds of show-stopping blends at PCA 2023, and it succeeds by staying true to CLE’s core values: heritage, craftsmanship, and flavor integrity. It’s as much a collector’s piece as it is a daily smoke for those who appreciate authentic Honduran terroir.
Flavor Journey
The first third delivers roasted peanut and cedar with a soft earthiness and a warm, baking-spice kick. As it progresses, graham cracker sweetness and espresso bean come forward, creating a layered and satisfying profile. In the final third, black pepper and molasses emerge, finishing with a smooth, balanced mix of earth and toasted wood.
