United Cigars made the decision a couple years back that they wanted to find the right tobacco and partner with the right manufacturer for their latest launch; Abuelo. For the Abuelo line it seemed almost fitting to go with the Eiroa family that has been a longtime friend. This puro offers a smooth medium-to full-body, pulling rich earthy notes from the soils of Honduras followed by coffee grounds and leather. Abuelo means grandfather is Spanish […]

Original the company announced that every year they would release a limited edition size as part of the “Our Cuban Heritage” branding.

Now according to Justo Eiroa, the cigars are en-route to the states and should clear customs the week of June 9th. The company plans to start shipping them to retailers […]
A lot of people think Aladino is a new company, but the fact is the factory that produces the tobacco has been around a very long time. Julio Eiroa the patriarch of the Eiroa family has been growing Corojo tobacco since the 1960s and was an integral part of the pre-Davidoff Camacho era. Now Aladino takes things to the next level with Honduran grown Cameroon tobacco, a project that Justo and Julio Eiroa have been […]

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 […]
