Eiroa is the flagship line of CLE Cigar Co., the company founded by Christian Eiroa, whose family previously owned Camacho. The cigars are rolled at the company’s factory in Danlí, Honduras, and the range includes Eiroa Classic, Eiroa Colorado, The First 20 Years, CBT Maduro and Eiroa Dark 30th. In halfwheel’s reviews, strength mostly runs from about medium to medium-full, with one Dark 30th sample reaching full, and Christian Eiroa describes CBT Maduro as full-flavored and full-bodied. Typical notes vary by line: nuts, cedar, cream, leather and white pepper in the all-Honduran Eiroa Classic; cocoa, cinnamon, cashew, oak and espresso in CBT Maduro; and peanut, cereal, wood, brown sugar and black pepper in Dark 30th, which adds Colombian tobacco to Honduran leaf. A good starting point is Eiroa Classic for a medium-plus, all-Honduran smoke, or CBT Maduro, made only from upper-priming maduro leaves, for a cocoa-and-spice profile.

Frequently asked questions about Eiroa Cigars
Who makes Eiroa cigars and where are they made?
Eiroa cigars are made by CLE Cigar Co., the company founded by Christian Eiroa, whose family owned the Camacho brand before selling it to Davidoff in 2008. In May 2013 halfwheel reported that the Eiroa line, CLE's flagship, was nearing release. Early coverage placed production at the El Aladino factory, a former Eiroa family movie theater in Danlí, Honduras, and recent halfwheel reviews list the cigars as made at The CLE Factory in Danlí.
How strong are Eiroa cigars?
Eiroa blends generally sit around medium to medium-full strength. halfwheel's 2022 review of the Eiroa Classic Lancero found medium-plus strength through most of the cigar, rising to medium-full in the final third, and its review of the CBT Maduro Lancero found strength building from just under medium to medium-full. Christian Eiroa describes the CBT Maduro as full-flavored and full-bodied, and in 2019 said the original Eiroa Dark would have more body than the typical Eiroa line. Strength is a general guide and can vary by size and from cigar to cigar.
How do the Eiroa lines differ?
Eiroa Classic is one of several blends under the Eiroa name, made entirely from Honduran tobacco, with typical notes of nuts, cedar, cream, leather and white pepper in halfwheel's review. The First 20 Years is another Honduran puro, announced in 2015. CBT Maduro, announced in 2014, uses maduro leaves from the upper primings for the wrapper, binder and filler, and halfwheel noted cocoa, cinnamon, cashew, oak and espresso. Eiroa Dark 30th (2026) is a reblend of the 2019 Eiroa Dark that adds tobacco from the company's Colombian farms to Honduran leaf, with peanut, cereal, wood, brown sugar and black pepper noted in review.
