Aladino Cameroon Reserva

It’s not every day you encounter a true innovation in tobacco. But leave it to the Eiroa family to blur the lines between tradition and experimentation, delivering something rarely (if ever)seen before: a Cameroon-seed puro grown entirely in Honduras. The Aladino Cameroon Reserva cigar is the culmination of years of agronomic curiosity, quietly unfolding since the debut of the original Aladino Cameroon in 2020 and refined through limited releases until now.

Rolled exclusively in a 6” x 52 toro, this cigar is crafted at Fábrica de Puros Aladino in the Jamastran Valley, the Eiroas’ home turf. Unlike the typical approach—Cameroon wrapper paired with Corojo guts—this blend leans fully into the transplanted Cameroon leaf, utilizing it for the wrapper, binder, and filler alike. It’s a bold move, backed by generations of farming know-how and an uncompromising focus on quality.

Once lit, the Aladino Cameroon Reserva delivers a medium-bodied profile that plays more on finesse than force. The opening is dry and spice-laced, brushing across the tongue like cinnamon on suede. As the burn progresses, the cigar layers in notes of red pepper, peanut brittle, and a creamy English breakfast tea (stirred, not shaken). It’s a smooth, balanced ride with enough character to stand out in a crowded humidor. In short: the Eiroas didn’t just grow Cameroon in Honduras—they grew something entirely their own.
