Experience Aladino: The Spirit of Authentic Honduran Cigars
At Boisdale’s online shop, we are proud to feature Aladino, a cigar brand that captures the golden age of Cuban cigar tradition through the craftsmanship and heritage of Honduras. Created by the renowned Eiroa family, Aladino is celebrated for its classic flavour, perfect construction, and unwavering dedication to authenticity.
A Legacy Rooted in Tradition
Aladino was founded by legendary cigar maker Julio R. Eiroa and his son Justo Eiroa in the fertile Jamastrán Valley of Honduras. The Eiroa family’s history in tobacco stretches back to pre-revolutionary Cuba, where Julio learned the art of cultivating and blending fine tobaccos. Today, Aladino cigars are produced at the family’s Fábrica de Puros Aladino, continuing a multi-generational legacy that honours traditional Cuban methods with Honduran terroir.
The brand’s name, “Aladino,” evokes the magic and nostalgia of a bygone era — a time when craftsmanship and patience defined the cigar experience.
Tobacco and Craftsmanship
Every Aladino cigar is made with tobaccos grown on the Eiroa family’s own farms in the Jamastrán Valley, an area renowned for its rich soils and ideal microclimate. Most Aladino lines feature authentic 100% Corojo tobacco — a varietal once prized in pre-embargo Cuba — cultivated, fermented, and aged under the Eiroas’ meticulous care. Handcrafted by expert torcedores, these cigars reflect exceptional quality, consistency, and tradition.
Typical Tasting Notes
Aladino cigars are known for their rich yet balanced flavour and old-world refinement. Expect:
-
Aromas of cedar, roasted nuts, and light spice with hints of caramel and leather.
-
On the palate, smooth notes of cream, coffee, and sweet wood with touches of earth and gentle pepper, leading to a refined, medium-bodied finish.
Among the brand’s most celebrated lines are the Aladino Classic, Aladino Corojo Reserva, and Aladino Cameroon, each offering a distinct expression of the Eiroa family’s artistry.
Perfect Pairings
The versatile and nuanced character of Aladino pairs beautifully with a range of refined drinks and dishes:
