Aladino cigars come from JRE Tobacco Co., the company of Julio and Justo Eiroa, and are rolled in Danlí, Honduras, from tobacco the family grows in the Jamastran Valley. The core blend is Honduran-grown Cuban-seed Corojo, meant to recall Cuban cigars of 1947-1961, with Connecticut, Maduro, Cameroon and Habano Vintage Selection blends alongside. Strength runs from mild-to-medium to medium-full: Cigar Aficionado says the 2024 Limited Edition is intended to be mild to medium-bodied, rates the Cameroon Robusto medium-full and the 85 Aniversario Reserva Toro medium, and Cigar Insider rates the Corojo Reserva No. 4 medium. Typical notes include walnut, cedar, cinnamon and golden raisins (Cameroon Robusto), almond paste and baking spices (85 Aniversario), and black pepper, baked apple and cocoa (Corojo Reserva No. 4). Start with the wrapper style you already enjoy, or Corojo for the brand’s signature leaf, and check the Aladino category page for availability.

Frequently asked questions about Aladino Cigars
Who makes Aladino cigars and where are they made?
Aladino is made by JRE Tobacco Co., the company founded by Julio Eiroa and his son Justo Eiroa. The cigars are rolled at the Aladino factory in Danlí, Honduras, using tobacco the Eiroa family grows on its farms in the Jamastran Valley. The brand first appeared at the IPCPR trade show in 2015.

Check each cigar's description for its own strength.
How do the Aladino lines differ, and which should I try first?
The core Aladino is a Honduran puro of Cuban-seed Corojo, meant to recall Cuban cigars of 1947 to 1961. Connecticut, Maduro, Cameroon and Habano Vintage Selection blends sit alongside it, and the 85 Aniversario Reserva uses Cuban-seed Pinareño instead of Corojo. In Cigar Aficionado's tasting notes, the Cameroon Robusto showed walnut, cedar, cinnamon and golden raisins and the 85 Aniversario Reserva Toro showed almond paste and baking spices; in Cigar Insider, the Corojo Reserva No. 4 showed black pepper, baked apple and cocoa. These are typical notes, and individual cigars vary. A good first pick is a wrapper style you already enjoy, or the Corojo for the brand's signature leaf.
