Since the initial release of Aladino, Julio and Justo Eiroa have produced cigars that’s that have been consistently among our favorites. They follow up the success of Aladino, Aladino Maduro, and Aladino Corojo Reserva with the Aladino Connecticut. If you look on social media would never know it, but mild cigars outsell other cigars significantly and as a result the market place for a Connecticut is crowded. The question is can a company known for […]
It’s one of the most popular shows we do each year. It is also one of the most controversial shows we do. We will look into rumors, behind the scenes rumblings, and use our knowledge and connections to discuss the possible mergers and acquisitions in this 2018 edition of the conspiracy show. In the first hour we light up the JFR Lunatic Short Titan which is part of the Cigar Authority Care Package. It doesn’t […]
Earlier this year we had Justo Eiroa on The Cigar Authority during the official launch of the Aladino Maduro. The cigar which is available in limited numbers until the 2018 IPCPR in Las Vegas has been well received. We reviewed the Elegante earlier in 2018, and consider it one of the best Maduro Lancero cigars on the market today. Today we take a look at the Box Pressed Corona Gorda Aladino Maduro. Cigar Review: Aladino Maduro Wrapper: […]

JRE Tobacco believes the answer is the Aladino Maduro, which got it’s official global release this past weekend on The Cigar Authority podcast. JRE Tobacco is the company owned by the father and son team of Julio and Justo Eiroa, and the cigars are made in Honduras. The cigar is […]
This week we welcome Justo Eiroa from JRE Tobacco to the show for the first time. You may recall he was scheduled to be on the show once before, but with a Hurricane about to hit Miami he flew back to the city to be with his family and we admire that almost as much as the cigars. This week we will light up the Aladino Maduro which will get it’s word-wide release on The […]

Many cigar smokers are collectors and their humidors contain some special cigars that they refuse to smoke until the occasion warrants it. Today we discuss some of those cigars that line the humidors belonging to the hosts of The Cigar Authority. We also look at the cigars we wish we had at least one off. What cigars are our holy grails, something we want to smoke another of or something we want to try. Will […]
There were a lot of great cigars released in 2017. So much so, that when people purchased the Contenders Pack to cast their vote, a vast majority responded how difficult this year was to choose from and/or how great the choices were. As the votes came in and were compiled, one cigar stood out from almost the beginning taking a lead shortly after voting began and never relinquishing that lead. That cigar is the Aladino […]
We smoke a lot of cigars at The Cigar Authority and after much deliberation we have selected the Top 8 that make up the Contenders for Cigar of the Year. It’s no easy task and with a few cigars coming in after we put together the list of 8, we already have a few cigars to consider for next year. We will announce the winner of the 2017 Cigar of the Year on the December […]
The wolf is hungry, he runs the show… he’s licking his lips, he’s ready to win so what is wrong with another sin?
