Description
The Eladio Diaz 72nd Anniversary North and South Edition is a limited-production masterpiece created by legendary master blender Eladio Diaz. Known for his 30-year tenure at Tabadom Holding (Davidoff Cigars), Diaz has crafted this exceptional Dominican puro using rare tobaccos from both the northern and southern regions of the Dominican Republic.
This unique blend marks a historic milestone in cigar craftsmanship, as it is the first handmade cigar to feature tobacco exclusively sourced from both the North and South of the Dominican Republic. The southern region’s tobacco, last planted in the 1970s, makes this a once-in-a-lifetime smoking experience.
With only 2,500 boxes available worldwide, the Eladio Diaz 72nd Anniversary North and South Edition is a true collector’s item.
