Oliva announced they were bringing back an old brand with a couple reputable manufacturers… Little did we know the collaboration with the Godfather of Cigars Ernesto Perez Carillo would bring such an aficionado-crazed cigar and one of our top cigars of the year; yet another one we deserve should be at the top of many and all  lists…  The Cuba Aliados by EPC is blended and had-made at La Alianza with a luscious Ecuador Sumatra Wrapper that covers Nicaraguan and Dominican tobaccos to produce a delightful smoke, yielding creamy notes of oak, must, sourdough bread, and cinnamon spice.

About Cuaba Aliados

The cigar world was taken by surprise last summer when Oliva Cigar Co. purchased Cuba Aliados and Puros Indios—two struggling Honduran cigar brands . Little has been said since then, but now, Oliva is bringing Cuba Aliados into its next chapter with two new releases made under contract—one made in Honduras by Julio Eiroa, and the other in the Dominican Republic by Ernesto Perez Carillo.

The Cuba Aliados Original Blend will be a regular-production brand made in Honduras by JR e Tobacco the father-and-son team consisting of Julio Eiroa and his son Justo. The Eiroa family is known for growing Honduran tobacco and the new Cuba Aliados Original Blend is a Honduran puro. According to Oliva, this line of cigars “uses the original blend” conceived by Rolando Reyes SR, however, Reyes has gone on the road telling Cigar Aficionado that he disliked Honduran tobacco and has never used it. “I just don’t like it. I never worked with it. I feel that it doesn’t have what I’m looking for,” he said in a 2006 interview. Despite this, Oliva maintains that this Honduran blend was created to more closely capture the character of the cigars Reyes made in Cuba when he was using Cuban tobacco.
