Aladino is Julio Eiroa's project, and it is unusual in the modern market — genuine Corojo grown from the original Cuban seed on the family's own land in the Jamastran valley of Honduras.
Most cigars sold as Corojo today use hybrid seed. Aladino does not, and the difference is noticeable: a drier, more mineral, distinctly old-fashioned profile that tastes like cigars used to. This sampler is the introduction to the range.
If you have ever wondered what Corojo actually tasted like before the hybrids, this is the answer.
