This month, JRE Tobacco Co. is expanding its Aladino Maduro line with its largest size to date.

The Aladino Maduro Gordo is a 6 1/2 x 60 gordo extra that uses a Mexican San Andrés wrapper over a Honduran corojo binder and Honduran fillers. Each cigar will have an MSRP of $12.50 and it will come in boxes of 20.

This is a new regular production line extension. Interestingly, a gordo size has been in consideration since the line debuted in 2017.

JRE Tobacco Co. says the cigar is ready to ship “as of PCA 2024,” which takes place March 23-25 in Las Vegas.
