In January 2021 they came back at it from the other direction. The \u003cstrong\u003eAlma Fuerte Colorado Claro\u003c\/strong\u003e keeps the Nicaraguan puro construction but swaps the dark cover leaf for a lighter, faintly reddish Colorado Claro wrapper grown in Jalapa and \u003cstrong\u003eaged ten years\u003c\/strong\u003e before it ever touched a roller's bench.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt isn't the same cigar in different clothes. The blend underneath was adjusted to sit properly beneath a lighter leaf, and the result lands medium where the original lands full — more nuance, less punch, and a good deal more room to taste what the aged tobacco is actually doing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Eduardo I\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Colorado Claro launched with a single size, the six-sided Sixto I. The \u003cstrong\u003eEduardo I\u003c\/strong\u003e arrived in 2022 as the line's first traditional shape — a box-pressed 6 1\/4 x 54 toro, and for most smokers the format that shows this blend best.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is named for \u003cstrong\u003eEduardo Plasencia\u003c\/strong\u003e, among the first of the family to grow tobacco. The Plasencias have been at it since 1865, across five generations and two countries, and for most of that history their leaf was quietly making other people's cigars famous.
