This Eladio Diaz La Diana Biloria is a winner. Layered, nuanced, just a good cigar. And it's eleven bucks?! Unbelievably superb! I recommend everyone to try this and taste the modern "budget" cigar that slaps (as the kids would say).
I struggle with this Eladio Diaz 71 Aniversario because it focuses on strength over flavors for the majority of the cigar. The combination of nicotine hits to my body mixed with a subpar flavor array of minerals and cedar made me want to gut through the cigar as fast as possible. I will not be interested in more of this blend.
This Eladio Diaz Before & After Pasion might be the best release from Eladio Diaz since his departure with Davidoff. It's a Dominican focused blend, but it receives some help from that Ecuadorian Corojo wrapper. The price is a little bit higher than I would like with a cigar like this, but that is where most cigars of this caliber are today. I would definitely come back to this blend, but would have preferred a smaller vitola.
