The JRE Tobacco Co. is responding to popular demand by bringing back a much-loved classic: the Aladino Limited Edition cigar. After a successful release in 2023, the Eiroa family is excited to reintroduce the same fine blend to the market this November, with an even larger production this time around. For those who missed out or simply couldnβt get enough, this highly anticipated release promises to be well worth the wait.
A Cigar with a Story
The Aladino Limited Edition was initially developed as a potential celebration cigar, marking the 80th birthday of Julio Eiroa, a patriarch of the famed cigar-making family. Although the blend was not chosen for that milestone, it didnβt fade into the shadows. The Eiroa family revived the blend last year, and its debut was met with a wave of appreciation from both consumers and the industry. With such positive feedback, JRE Tobacco Co. felt compelled to bring the cigar back for 2024, doubling its production to meet demand.
βWe are excited to bring back the Aladino Limited Edition cigar we released in 2023,β says Vivian Eiroa, who leads marketing and international business development at JRE Tobacco Co. βThe consumer and industry response were so positive people kept asking for it, so we just had to bring it back.β
What Makes the Aladino Limited Edition Special?
Much of the allure surrounding this cigar lies in its craftsmanship and the careful selection of tobaccos used. Measuring at 6 inches by 52 ring gauge, the Toro-sized cigar retains the same dimensions and blend as last yearβs release. But what truly sets it apart is its 100% Honduran tobacco composition, sourced entirely from the familyβs own farms in the lush Jamastran Valley.
At the heart of this cigarβs distinctive profile is the wrapper, grown from tobacco seeds said to originate from Cameroon, a region renowned for producing some of the finest tobacco in the world. The Eiroas have taken great care to preserve the characteristics of this seed, which has thrived in the fertile Honduran soil, creating a unique smoking experience.
Additionally, the tobaccos in the blend have been aged for five to six years, ensuring a mature and refined flavor profile that promises to be both smooth and complex.
Aladino 2024 Limited Edition: A Milder Side of Luxury
This yearβs release remains true to the essence of its predecessor, designed as a mild to medium-bodied smoke. This makes it a versatile choice for both seasoned cigar aficionados and those new to the world of premium cigars. Whether enjoyed as part of a special celebration or a casual evening with friends, the Aladino Limited Edition offers a sophisticated and approachable smoking experience.
Each cigar is produced at the familyβs Fabrica de Puros Aladino S.A. factory in Honduras, with meticulous attention to detail. Only 1,200 boxes of 20 cigars are being made this year, which is double the production of the 2023 releaseβensuring that more people can get their hands on this exquisite blend.
At a suggested retail price of $16 each, itβs a luxury that offers great value for what youβre getting: craftsmanship, heritage, and a genuinely delightful smoking experience.
