Master blender Eladio Díaz has introduced his 73rd Anniversary cigar, a special release featuring a blend composed of eight different tobaccos, all sourced from the Dominican Republic.
The cigar was developed at Tabacalera Díaz Cabrera in the Dominican Republic as part of Díaz’s annual tradition of producing a commemorative release for premium cigar consumers.
The Eladio Díaz 73rd Anniversary blend is constructed entirely from Dominican-grown tobaccos. The composition includes:
- Wrapper: Corojo Original (Southern Dominican Republic)
- Binders: Sumatra Ecuador (grown in DR) and Negro San Andrés (grown in DR)
- Filler: Six tobaccos including barrel-aged Habano 2000, Corojo 99, Criollo 98, Corojo 06 and Piloto Cubano
The cigars are packaged in a box of 11 cigars, consisting of:
- 10 Toro Extra (54 x 6 ½)
- 1 Robusto (50 x 5)
According to the provided information, the use of two binders and multiple filler components represents a non-standard construction within typical production parameters.
