About this cigar
The CLE 25th Anniversary marks a quarter-century of innovation from one of the Dominican Republic's most respected producers. This robusto stands as a retrospective blend, drawing on CLE's signature approach to balance and construction while honoring the brand's evolution across two and a half decades of cigarmaking. At 5x50, the format suits both a quick office smoke and a substantial session without demanding a full evening. Expect the creamy backbone characteristic of CLE's house style, built on a Connecticut broadleaf wrapper that deepens into amber as you work through the cigar. The blend reveals layers of cedar, subtle spice, and a nutty sweetness that emerges in the second third, finishing with a touch of earth and toasted grain. It's refined without being precious, substantial without overwhelming. The draw and burn are immaculate, as CLE's quality control demands. This is the cigar to stock when your clientele appreciates consistency and provenance over flash. A perfect post-dinner selection for the lounge that caters to established collectors, or a reliable house selection for the retailer seeking to represent the Dominican craft cigar establishment without compromise.
