Fábrica de Puros Aladino at Las Lomas Jamastran

Rancho Luna is now a mixed filler brand, offered in a single vitola though with two different wrapper options. In addition, the Aladino Candela Toro is returning to shelves ahead of St. Patrick’s Day.

For the first time ever, the Aladino Cameroon, Classic, Connecticut, Corojo and Vintage Selection blends are offered in a box-pressed format. JRE says these samplers are a limited edition item for the holiday season.

Last year, General Cigar Co. turned to the factory best known for producing JRE’s cigars for a new Punch line. This year, the company added a lancero to the line.

The Aladino Limited Edition, a 6 x 52 toro that was released last year, returns for 2024. JRE says all of the tobacco inside was aged between 5-6 years.

A Cameroon-seed puro sounds like the wildest dream of some cigar smokers, myself included. JRE Tobacco Co. did just that, though the tobacco is grown in Honduras, with the cigar the latest evolution of JRE’s continued development of the crop.

There were 600 boxes of the Aladino Limited Edition released last year, there will be 1,200 heading to stores next month. A bit of good news for consumers: the price remains the same.

As expected from a collaboration with the Eiroa family, the blend showcases Honduran tobacco. It marks the first time that an El Rey del Mundo cigar will use habano and corojo tobacco.

Golden Era, the collaboration between General Cigar Co. and JRE Tobacco Co., has a fourth size. The 7 x 38 lancero began shipping to stores last week.

JRE Tobacco Co. says the binder and fillers come from the company’s farms in Honduras, though there’s no information on where the wrapper was grown.

The first eight out of the roughly 125 cigars slated to receive the Aladino Cameroon Reserva will get the cigars next week.

The cigar is made entirely of Cameroon-seed tobaccos grown by the Eiroa family in Honduras.
