Eladio Diaz LXXI (71) 2024 Aniversario (6×54/Box of 10)

The Eladio Díaz 71 Aniversario cigar, released in November 2024, commemorates the 71st birthday of master blender Eladio Díaz. This limited-edition cigar measures 6 inches in length with a 54-ring gauge and is meticulously crafted at Tabacalera Díaz Cabrera in the Dominican Republic.

Blend Composition:

Wrapper: Ecuadorian Corojo ’99
Binder: Ecuadorian Sumatra
Filler: Dominican tobaccos, including Corojo, Habano ’92, and barrel-aged HVA
Notably, the filler tobaccos are sourced from the San Juan de la Maguana and Las Matas de Farfán regions of the Dominican Republic. These areas, situated near the Haitian border at elevations approaching 1,500 feet, offer soil with a higher pH level, contributing to a robust tobacco profile.

Flavor Profile: The cigar begins with pronounced notes of cacao and espresso, transitioning into flavors reminiscent of Turkish coffee complemented by subtle hints of cedar and sunflower seeds. The final third introduces nuances of mocha, earth, and a touch of rum, likely attributed to the barrel-aged HVA tobacco. The retrohale offers a creamy sensation with a distinctive character, possibly derived from the unique regional tobaccos used in the blend.

Availability: Production of the Eladio Díaz 71 Aniversario is limited to 2,000 boxes, each containing 10 cigars, totaling 20,000 cigars. This exclusivity makes it a prized addition for aficionados and collectors alike.

Eladio Díaz 71 Aniversario showcases a harmonious blend of carefully selected tobaccos, offering a rich and evolving flavor experience that reflects Eladio Díaz’s extensive expertise and passion in cigar craftsmanship.
