Ernesto Perez-Carrillo and the Eiroas to make the cigars
The cigar world was taken by surprise last summer when Oliva Cigar Co. announced that it had purchased Cuba Aliados and Puros Indios—two struggling Honduran cigar brands that were red-hot during the cigar boom of the ’90s. 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-Carrillo.
