Eladio Diaz La Diana by Eladio Diaz Brevas (20)

La Diana Brevas is the shortest cigar in Eladio Diaz’s second regular-production line — a deeply personal tribute to the tiny Dominican factory where a seven-year-old Eladio first learned the craft under the guidance of Francisco “Panchito” Biloria Vencosme. Diaz calls this the strongest and most complex blend he has ever made, and the compact Brevas format is designed to deliver every ounce of that intensity in a shorter session, without diluting a single note.

Expect a full-bodied profile with cream, sweet spice, and cedar at the core, joined by roasted nuts, cocoa, and a distinctive Peruvian earthiness from the pelo de oro filler leaf, all resolving into a long, complex finish that builds steadily through to the nub.

This Brevas measures 114mm with a 46 ring gauge, hand-rolled at Tabacalera Diaz Cabrera in the Dominican Republic with an Ecuadorian Habano 2000 wrapper over a Mexican San Andrés binder and a filler blend of Dominican Corojo, Criollo ’98, and Negrito alongside Peruvian Pelo de Oro. Presented in a box of 20 cigars.

Ideal with an aged rum, a bourbon, or a peated single malt — also pairs excellently with a rich espresso or a piece of dark chocolate to match its full, layered character.
