Aladino Limited Edition Returning Next Month

Last July, JRE Tobacco Co. released the Aladino Limited Edition, a 6 x 52 toro that was limited to just 600 boxes. In November, twice as many boxes will ship to stores.

JRE has confirmed that it is bringing back the cigar due to its popularity. Blend-wise, it uses a Cameroon-seed wrapper grown on the Eiroa farms in Honduras, along with binder and filler tobaccos that the company describes as “other Honduran tobacco of undisclosed origins.” A press release says the tobacco is aged between five and six years.

The MSRP will remain $16 per cigar, but the 2024 batch will be limited to 1,200 boxes of 20 cigars. One other change is that the 2023 release was only sold in the U.S., whereas this year’s shipment will also be offered to international stores.

“This cigar is a precursor to one of several larger personal projects from our archive and we are excited to begin sharing them in the near future,”the company said in a press release last year. “As always, we were looking to have a cigar that has high complexity in flavor but at the same time is contemporary for our smokers. The slightly ambiguous description of this cigar invites smokers to discover the mystical joy of our blending journey.”
