IPCPR 2012: EloGio

Easily one of the smallest brands, particularly amongst those that claim both factories and tobacco production—EloGio was back at IPCPR with one new size. Production is still right around 50,000 cigars annually with accounts under 30, yet the buzz around the brand remains widespread.

EloGio Excentríco

Excentríco
It’s a 7 x 54 Torpedo with a gigantic cap with the name coming off the year of the dragon. Last year, EloGio moved wrapper from Nicaragua to Ecuador, although it’s the same seed. Insider as a Habano binder with fillers from Nicaragua and the Dominican. Price is $15.00 and the cigar is limited to 200 boxes of 10.

Excepcionales

It’s back for another year with three shipments to continue throughout the year.
