Crop to Shop, Honduran Corojo Specialists
Buy JRE Tobacco cigars in the UK from a family that controls every stage of the process: founded by Julio Eiroa and his son Justo, JRE Tobacco grows, ferments, and rolls its own tobacco in Honduras, a "crop to shop" approach that few brands can claim.
Julio Eiroa is widely regarded as one of the world's leading growers of Corojo tobacco, and that expertise runs through every JRE Tobacco line, including Aladino, Rancho Luna, and Tatascan. The result is a Corojo character that many smokers compare to the cigars of the 1960s, before the leaf became harder to find.
The Aladino line is built to feel like a cigar from cigar-making's golden era, using tobacco grown, cured, and rolled entirely under the Eiroa family's own control. Rancho Luna and Tatascan sit alongside it with their own character, but Aladino remains the clearest expression of what the family set out to do: prove that proper Corojo tobacco, grown the old way, still exists.
At Toro Puro, we carry Aladino for smokers who want an authentic, old-school Corojo profile from a family that grows it themselves. Explore our wider Honduran cigars range alongside it, or try our Honduran Cigar Sampler to compare before committing to a box.
