JRE Adding New Sizes to Aladino Cameroon & Connecticut

Next month, JRE Tobacco Co. will add a total of three new cigars to its existing Aladino Cameroon and Aladino Connecticut lines.

The Aladino Cameroon will get two new vitolas: Gordo (6 1/2 x 60, $11) and Queens Perfecto (5 1/4 x 46, $7.60). Both are regular production, nationally available sizes, bringing the total number of regular vitolas for the line to six. Earlier this year, JRE created a 4 1/2 x 48 Rothschild size for The Party Source, a retailer in Kentucky. The Aladino Cameroon is made entirely of Honduran tobacco using corojo-seed tobaccos for the binder and fillers and a Cameroon-seed tobacco grown by the Eiroa family for the wrapper.

There will also be the 6 1/2 x 60 gordo vitola added to the Aladino Connecticut line; it will have an MSRP of $10 per cigar. That line uses an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper over a mixture of Honduran tobaccos grown at the Eiroa family farms in Honduras.

All JRE Tobacco Co. lines are made at Fábrica de Puros Aladino at Las Lomas Jamastran in Honduras.

JRE Tobacco Co. says both cigars should be ready to ship immediately after the 2022 PCA Convention & Trade Show, which takes place July 9-12 in Las Vegas.
