Privada Storytelling
The Eiroa CBT Maduro Lancero is Christian Eiroa’s purest expression of darkness and depth — a Honduran cigar made entirely from Maduro tobaccos. The name CBT stands for Capa, Banda, Tripa — wrapper, binder, and filler — all Maduro, all perfectly fermented, all from Eiroa’s prized Jamastrán Valley.
The Lancero vitola transforms this powerhouse blend into something even more refined and deliberate. The narrow 7×38 format focuses the flavor, intensifying every note of cocoa, espresso, and pepper while revealing a surprising elegance. It’s not just bold — it’s orchestrated. Each puff unfolds like a deep rhythm, slow and steady, built on decades of mastery in Honduran soil.
This cigar isn’t made to impress the crowd — it’s made to reward patience, precision, and respect for craftsmanship. For Eiroa, this is his signature in Maduro ink.
Flavor Journey
The first third bursts with espresso and pepper, quickly settling into cocoa and leather. As the burn progresses, molasses and sweet oak emerge, layered over earthy spice and dark fruit undertones. In the final third, the cigar crescendos with espresso crema, charred cedar, and lingering cocoa sweetness that hangs on the palate long after the smoke fades.
Why It Belongs in Privada
Privada exists to highlight cigars that define authenticity — and few cigars capture a blender’s vision as completely as the Eiroa CBT Maduro. It’s an unapologetic ode to fermentation, patience, and the power of Honduran tobacco. This Lancero belongs in Privada because it showcases the strength and sophistication that come only from total control over every leaf and every step of the process.
