CLE Chele Robusto 5" * 50

CLE Chele is one of the first cigars that Christian Eiroa of CLE has made in Nicaragua. Traditionally, CLE Cigars have been made in Honduras but Eiroa wanted to try something new. These box pressed premium cigars are handmade with an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper and Nicaraguan binder and filler. Medium to full bodied, the CLE Chele will delight you with smooth and creamy flavors throughout. Each individual cigar is wrapped in tissue paper.

The Robusto is a short Churchill size, traditionally 5 to 5.5 inches by a 50 ring gauge.

A box pressed cigar is a cigar that has a square shape. Originally, this shape came from the practice of packing round cigars tightly in cardboard boxes which are then compacted using a manual press. The cigars are thus pressed into each other and become a "squarish" or semi-square shape. Today, cigar makers use square shaped molds or a wooden trunk press for their box pressed cigars, achieving a more defined square section.

This cigar is 5 inches long, or 127 mm.

Most cigars are manufactured in the Caribbean and Central America.

The cigar ring gauge corresponds to the diameter of a cigar, this cigar has a ring gauge of 50, so his diameter is 50/64 inches or 19.81 mm.

Cigar wrapper color varies from green (Double Claro or Candela) to black (Maduro or Oscuro) with a full range of browns in between.
Claro wrapper is light, yellowish brown in color.

Handmade cigars are completely made by hand from start to finish.

CLE Cigar Company was founded in 2012 by Christian Eiroa, previously president of Camacho Cigars. Their cigars are produced in their Aladino Factory in Danli, Honduras, and in their Wynwood factory in Miami.

The wrapper is the last tobacco leaf to be rolled on the cigar, so it is the one the smoker will see.
Ecuador is the perfect place to grow wrappers, because it is located on the Equator! And it has rich soils too. The weather conditions, with a nearly permanent cloudy sky, provide a natural shade, protecting the wrapper plants from sunshine and allowing the tobacco to grow thin and light. This climate allows tobacco growers to grow Connecticut-seed wrapper in the shade without shade cloths, resulting in more economical wrapper.

The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together.

Filler is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the "guts" of the cigar.
