Most of what I smoke from Aladino is their corojo as they are so proficient at it. So me being a big Connecticut guy I had to try this. Boy was I glad I did. It was just plain awesome. Very nutty, buttery with bread and sweet cedar. I loved this about as much as the corojo they make… just in a different way. The construction on this was spot on. Great draw and smoke output. Had to touch up once but nothing major. Will definitely keep a couple of these on hand.

I honestly don’t think there’s a single thing that Julian and Justo Eiroa have made that I didn’t love. This conneticut is phenomenal. Nutty and buttery, with a perfect mesquite smokiness added from their signature corojo.
