First there was Aladino, then came a maduro variety, an amped up rendition, a Connecticut, and finally, Cameroon! Since JRE Tobacco Co. debuted in 2015 alongside their signature Aladino brand, the Honduran-based outfit has become a favorite among fans of authentic Cuban-seed tobacco, being highly regarded for replicating the profile of Cuban cigars throughout the 1940s to 1960s (i.e. the heyday of Cuban tobacco).
But the Aladino Cameroon aims to flip the script! With the fifth iteration of the Aladino brand, the acclaimed Eiroa family (owners of JRE Tobacco) has innovated to showcase something few smokers have ever tried: Honduran-grown Cameroon. Cameroon is a prized tobacco grown in Africa (giving the seed its name)—an unorthodox growing region that produces unorthodox results that have been wrapped around many of the most luxurious smoking experiences in the world of premium cigars. It's historically an expensive leaf, known to be thin and delicate, exceptionally toothy, and brimming with spicy-sweet complexity.
With the Aladino Cameroon, the Eiroas have transported the African seeds to their famed tobacco farm in the Jamastran Valley of Honduras, successfully harvesting wrapper-grade tobacco roughly three years after acquiring the seeds and introducing the leaves to the public after an additional two years' aging. This special leaf graces the 100% Authentic Corojo blend that Aladino is famous for, offering a new twist on a familiar blend. The end result is medium in body and a league of its own in terms of nuance and complexity, dazzling the palate with spice and balanced sweetness, including red pepper, clean cedar, aromatic florals, pretzel dough, and brown sugar... you're going to want to stock up on this beauty!
