Bulgaria Gets Eiroa Classic 11/18

There will be an Eiroa Classic cigar made in the 11/18 perfecto size, but it will only be available in Bulgaria.

On Saturday, June 29, Best Cigars in Plovdiv, Bulgaria will host a launch event for the Eiroa Classic 11/18, a new, exclusive size for the Eiroa Classic line. The 11/18 is a 6 x 48/54/48 perfecto vitola that the Eiroa family made famous when it still owned Camacho and that Christian Eiroa has continued to produce at CLE. Its name refers to Nov. 18, the birthday of Christian’s mother. The Eiroa Classic blend is made entirely of Honduran tobaccos, the company said that a tweak was made to the blend to add more complexity for this size.

Pricing is set at €18 ($19.27) per cigar and production is limited to 150 boxes of 20 cigars.

“Harry Dulendarov (owner of Best Cigars) is a great friend and an industry leader in Bulgaria,” said Eiroa in a press release. “Owns several stores and imports and distributes various brands. I am honored that he approached us to create a regional exclusive for Bulgaria.”

The company describes this as the first CLE Exclusivo Regionales, a series of regional editions.
