Today is my 27th Anniversary since I joined my father in the cigar business. This picture was taken on July 3rd, 1995 just two days shy of my 23rd birthday. Here is a list of things that did not exist that day: #internet #google #facebook #gps #instagram #twitter and cell phone planes were like $1/minute. How did we do it? #randmacnallymaps #beepers #fax #payphones @clecigar @asylum13cigars @eiroa_cigars (at Danli El Paraiso, Jamastran) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfXDzL0OCJp/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

To my baby boy @jj_eiroaa71 who turns 18 today, I wish you the happiest birthday. I love you, kid. From your first breath to my last. I will miss you next year when you head out to @smudallas and I will especially miss how you make me smile when you enter the room and know others will too. @alexcigar @santieiroa @chriseiroa (at Miami, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbNohMPOR_J/?utm_medium=tumblr

Late Friday we lost my uncle, Geneoso, my father’s older brother. Best known for nis kindness, except for when his food was served cold. My mother tells me of how he carried me in his arms when I was 3 with 3rd degree burns. Although shocked, he made sure I got there and helped keep my father calm until he could arrive from the farm. I spent months at his house and everyday he would make me a paper airplane. I loved him and I will miss him. Later he took care of my sister and me when my father had his accident in 1977 allowing my mother the peace of mind to focus on taking care of my father. He spent 70 years in tobacco, starting at 16 after my grandfather’s passing at La Victoria del Corojo farm in Cuba. As the eldest, he had to take care of my grandmother, Victoria and his two little brothers, Julio (my father) and Francisco. His life took him from Cuba to Tampa in 1960 where he would sweep floors and in 1962 while my father was in Korea with the Army, he went to Nicaragua as one of the first tobacco farms after the embargo with Cuba. In 1964 he moved to Jamastran, Honduras to join my father where they lived in a shack with three lightbulbs and a generator until 8 pm every night so they could save money. They worked together until the late 70s. He was organized and was known to keep a ledger in pencil even in his later years. In 1980, he moved to Santiago with INETAB in charge of all the dark air cured tobacco. His impact on the industry was organizing the 6,000 independent Dominican growers in a way that growers would have a contract and have the opportunity to secure financing. This system allowed manufacturers to secure tobacco and reserve quantities growers secured a buyer and a price. He retired from INETAB in 2000 after securing the largest filler tobacco deal to date for 5 years at a price that is still the gold standard.. He never left the business; even as I visited him in the hospital he was coordinating the last containers of filler I had purchased from him. He passed peacefully with his family at his bedside. He is survived by his wife, Bertica, his children, his two younger brothers, his eight grandchildren and one great grandchild.

Thank you @cigarjournalmag for recognizing my father, #julioeiroa and his contributions to the industry. As a grower, he developed the #tobacco industry in #honduras first with Candela wrappers in the 60s and 70s and then in the 90s by bringing back the authentic Corojo seed from Daniel Rodriguez. The only real and authentic seed for Daniel Rodriguez that he has never shared with anybody else. Maybe in the 20s his new legacy will the the Cameron from Jamastran. As a father, he raised three children, @justoeiroa @enitaeiglesias and me. He has been with my mother @ekafati001 for 53 years. As a mentor he has taught me work ethic and how not to allow anything get in your way. He has paralyzed in 1977 and still was able to rebuild a new company in the 1980s after running out of money. Definitely a great example to my children, my sister, my brother and me. Thank you once again for the recognition. @alexcigar @jj_eiroaa71 @santieiroa @chriseiroa (at Danli El Paraiso, Jamastran) https://www.instagram.com/p/CT7NKYur_bQ/?utm_medium=tumblr
