The Eladio Díaz 71 Aniversario Cigar is a special limited-edition release, crafted to honor the legendary blender Eladio Díaz on his 71st birthday. This premium cigar features an Ecuadorian Corojo ’99 wrapper, a rich Mexican San Andrés binder, and a unique filler blend of Dominican Corojo, Dominican Habano ’92, and barrel-aged Havana Vuelta Arriba (HVA) tobaccos. Hand-selected tobaccos from the regions of San Juan de la Maguana and Las Matas de Farfán in the Dominican Republic add a distinct character, drawing from their mineral-rich, high pH soils that contribute to the cigar’s strength and creamy texture. The cigar is presented in a refined Toro size, measuring 6 inches by a 54-ring gauge, and is limited to just 2,000 boxes of 10, making it a sought-after collector’s item. Its medium-to-full-bodied profile reveals flavors of subtle spice, dark cacao, black coffee, and a clean, woody finish, offering a rich and complex smoking experience worthy of its namesake. Priced at $25 per cigar, the 71 Aniversario delivers a nuanced, artisanal touch that reflects Díaz’s legacy and expertise in cigar crafting.
