Aladino Rothschild Sampler Heading to Stores

There’s a new three-cigar sampler of smaller Aladino cigars shipping to stores this week.

JRE Tobacco Co. has announced the Aladino Rothschild Sampler, which contains one each of the following:

• Aladino Connecticut Rothschild (4 1/2 x 48)
• Aladino Corojo Rothschild (4 1/2 x 48)
• Aladino Vintage Selection Rothschild (4 1/2 x 48)

While the Corojo and Vintage Selection lines include a Rothschild size in the regular production portfolio, the vitola is new for the Aladino Connecticut line. As of now, the only way to purchase the Aladino Connecticut Rothschild is via the sampler.

Each sampler has an MSRP of $24.

The company is describing this as its first sampler, though it already has the Aladino Cigar Master Chest, which contains 70 cigars: 10 each of seven different vitolas in the Aladino corojo line.

There is a fourth Aladino Rothschild: the Aladino Maduro Rothschild, a cigar released in 2017 in small quantities to select accounts as a test. That cigar was never put into regular production.
