The CLE Prieto takes Christian Eiroa’s blending style in a darker, richer direction. Made in Nicaragua, Prieto pairs a dark Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapper with Nicaraguan binder and filler tobaccos, creating a cigar that emphasizes deep flavor while maintaining balance. The name “Prieto” references the cigar’s dark appearance and provides a fitting contrast to the lighter CLE Chele.

Presented in a distinctive box-pressed format, the Prieto delivers a medium-to-full profile built around rich, roasted flavors. Coffee and dark cocoa lead the way, accompanied by earth, cedar, pepper, and touches of natural sweetness. As the cigar develops, the darker flavors become more pronounced while maintaining a smooth, satisfying character.
