CLE Chele Cigars

CLE Chele cigars are another rich-tasting creation from the talented hands of CLE Cigars founder, Christian Eiroa. Renowned for growing the finest authentic Corojo wrapper west of Havana, Christian stepped outside the Honduran box for this Chele selection: a core of Nicaraguan long-fillers and binder tobacco are draped in a buttery, blonde Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper. The result is a creamy, medium to medium-plus cigar brimming with, as Christian describes it, "intriguing hints of leather bread, earth, and spice that produce a nuanced, balanced flavor from tip to nub."

Available in four cigar vitola shapes presented in boxes of 25 cigars, there's another unique facet to the presentation: In the company's effort to save trees, Christian has opted to go with tissue wrappers over cello, a more attractive packaging option that's easier on the delicate Connecticut wrappers and the environment.

His reputation may have been founded on his award-winning Honduran-made cigars, but Christian says, "The fact that we can also make cigars in Nicaragua opens us up to many possibilities with many different tobaccos." Tailor-made for novice cigar smokers, as well as those seeking a full-flavored Nicaraguan blend with a little less octane, add CLE Chele to your next Famous Smoke Shop order.
