The Colorado Claro offshoot, launched in 2021, lightened the wrapper to a Jalapa-grown Colorado Claro. The Eduardo I, a 6 1/4 by 54 toro, honors Eduardo Plasencia, the family pioneer who migrated from the Canary Islands to Cuba and began growing tobacco in 1865. The Sixto sizes carry the house's hexagonal press.
