The Eiroa's have been growing tobacco for ages, and got their start in Cuba. When Communism beset the island, Don Julio Eiroa fled taking with him some of the greatest experience and knowledge the tobacco world has ever known. Don Julia and his son Christian now run Rachos Jamastran together in Danli.
The Eiro's took more then just their know how with them when they left Cuba, they also took the Islands most tasty seed that was used at the El Corojo farm in Cuba. This seed is now cultivated in Honduras by Julio and Christian and is the only truly genuine Crojo in the world.
