Aladino Toro 10-Cigar Sampler

Father and son cigar-crafting duo, Julio R. Eiroa and Justo Eiroa of the JRE Tobacco Company dedicated seven years to developing the first cigar made entirely of Cameroon tobacco. The tobacco was grown from Cameroon seeds that were planted and harvested on farms owned by JRE in Honduras. Cameroon tobacco is well-regarded for its smoothness, beauty, and flavor so it is mostly used as wrapper. However, the leaf is stiff and thin, which makes it difficult to use. It is why most cigar crafters tend to shy away from it. But JRE persisted and produced a Cameroon-seed puro that exhibits this tobacco’s rich qualities from filler to wrapper. The Aladino Cameroon Reserva appeals to aficionados looking to expand their smoking portfolio and experience Camerron tobacco.

The standard Toro shape is 6 inches by 50 ring gauge.

A box pressed cigar is a cigar that has a square shape. Originally, this shape came from the practice of packing round cigars tightly in cardboard boxes which are then compacted using a manual press. The cigars are thus pressed into each other and become a "squarish" or semi-square shape. Today, cigar makers use square shaped molds or a wooden trunk press for their box pressed cigars, achieving a more defined square section.

This cigar is 6 inches long, or 152.4 mm.

Most cigars are manufactured in the Caribbean and Central America.
Honduras, a Central American country which shares a border with Nicaragua, is widely known in the premium cigar industry as the ideal place to grow Cuban and Connecticut seed tobaccos. Danli and the Jamastran Valley is considered the heart of Honduras’ cigar industry. The Jamastran Valley is known for producing a full-bodied tobacco that draws strong comparisons to the tobacco grown in the Pinar del Rio region of Cuba. This same region is also known for its Connecticut shade grown and Corojo shade grown tobacco. In addition, Honduras produces Cuban-seed sun grown filler tobaccos of the highest quality.

The cigar ring gauge corresponds to the diameter of a cigar, this cigar has a ring gauge of 52, so his diameter is 52/64 inches or 20.57 mm.

Handmade cigars are completely made by hand from start to finish.
