One of the constant refrains heard on halfwheel is that anniversary cigars really should be something special, and in the case of Christian Eiroa celebrating 20 years in the cigar industry, it was the second cigar he released that really stood out.

A follow up to the Honduran puro released in 2016, the Eiroa The First 20 Years Colorado featured a Honduran corojo leaf that had been aged for five years in order to achieve its distinct color and flavor profile. The result is a cigar that offers a rich peanut note to start, complex sweetness by way of chocolate and then a transition to a woody profile that gets enhanced by creaminess and spice. The flavors contrast each other remarkably well without becoming contradictory or competitive, and the result is a blend that earns a place on our year end list. — Patrick Lagreid.
