Earlier this year we had Justo Eiroa in town for a series of events to launch the Aladino Maduro and to be a guest on The Cigar Authority. While in town he offered up a sample of this cigar with a band that he said was just a place holder. I practically begged him that he had to use that band on the release of the Aladino Corojo Reserva. He wasn’t sure, but I passionately argued […]
The Eiroa First 20 Years gets a TAA Exclusive. This Diadema uses a Mexican seed grown in Honduras at the Eiroa family farm called Finca Corojo for the wrapper. The binder and fillers include a special varietal of tobacco called La Victoria that is being grown on Generoso Eiroa’s farm named La Victoria marking the first time in 60 years that the seed has been harvested. Today we review the Eiroa The First 20 Years […]
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.

According to the email, the Eiroa First 20 Years will be getting a Diadema that […]
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 […]
This past week Asylum Cigars debuted their medulla oblongata which features a cigar wrapped in tissue paper. Which made me realize that the CLE Prieto has been on my list of cigars to smoke from last years trade show that I have overlooked for way to long. I constantly reach for the Chele, but today I decided to cross Prieto off my list and smoke it for review here at The Cigar Authority. Cigar: CLE Prieto Wrapper: […]
Back in the day, I would get excited every time there was a new cigar that came to market. Over the years I have slowed down and no longer go crazy tracking down every cigar release known to man. But, once in a while I catch wind of cigar coming out that I know I must have. One of the few cigar this year that achieved that status for me is the Eiroa 20 Years Colorado. Today, the […]
The newest size from Eiroa The First 20 Years comes in a signed box dated by Christian Eiroa and are part of the first run of these cigars. Wether or not this is for the nationwide release or a Two Guys Exclusive was not available at the time of review. The cigar measures 4 x 40, and is a nice collectors item on a cigar that we really enjoy here at The Cigar Authority. Cigar Review: Eiroa […]

In the second hour we discuss the Cigar Journal magazine which features cover boy Christian Eiroa and we light up our second cigar […]
