Miami, FL – C.L.E. Cigar Company is launching a new TAA exclusive cigar this year at the TAA convention in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico; the C.L.E. Azabache. Azabache, which translates intojet black, is a glistening coal that is often used in jewelry in the Cuban culture. This medium to full body Maduro cigar is delightfully creamy and will be available only to TAA members.
Miami, FL (November 18, 2015)—C.L.E. Cigar Company is proud to announce the shipment of the Aladino Cigars. These cigars made their debut at IPCPR 2015 but were not available to be shipped until now. The cigar is all Honduran with the tobacco grown by Julio Eiroa on the Jamastran Valley and rolled out of the Las Lomas Factory in Jamastran. “

·"Overall, this was an excellent stogie, with my only complaint being that it was too bloody short! This really reminded me of an Illusione Rothschild. I smoke the regular ones regularly as the creator and owner of the brand has a B&M in Reno. If this is what it is, I'm stoked that they came out with a Maduro line!!!" -Robert (NavyPiper)
"This was a very good cigar. The first third is the star giving me complex flavors of coffee and cream, oily chili, black pepper, sweet bread, hay, cedar and at times perhaps a black licorice. I kept wanting to take draws just so I can confirm what I'm tasting. The cigar does still have a little bit of edge to it in which I think age may help with. Easy fiver for me. Smoking one every 6 months or so to see how it is progressing." -Jiunn (jliu)
The Hechicera Maduro is the second and final blend from the Sotolongo Cigars partnership with Christian Eiroa and was released in August of 2014. The cigar has a Mexican San Andres Maduro wrapper with Nicaraguan binder and filler. The Robusto measures in at 4.5”x50 and carries an MSRP of $7.46.
Christian Eiroa announced today that his father, Julio and brother, Justo, have entered the cigar business under the company name, JRE Tobacco Co. Their brands are Aladino, Rancho Luna and Tatascan.

His older brother and personal hero, is an agricultural engineer (graduated from the Agriculture School El Zamorano University in Honduras). He spent over 22 years building a bottled water company in Honduras and the last 4 years with Campbell Soup Company. He is extremely knowledgeable in leaf tobacco and an expert in consumer products and distribution chain management.

·"Overall, this was a nice, quick smoke that would be great for those occasions where time is limited, but you would really like a cigar. Plenty of power, packed with a good amount of flavor, and well made, I would definitely be interested in buying a few more of these to keep in the humidor." -Dave (mdwest)
