Aladino Corojo - Lindsay04/11/2024
Justo Eiroa of JRE Tobacco came to our offices a few months back, handed out some cigars, and after one Aladino Corojo, I was sold: I can’t believe I never had an Aladino before! This Honduran puro is now part of my regular rotation, with its notes of baking spice, cedar, and white pepper rich on the palate thanks to its Corojo wrapper.

Aladino Corojo - Oscar04/11/2024
Father and son team Julio and Justo Eiroa are keeping the authentic Cuban Corojo experience alive, but in Honduras. Their ‘92’ rated Aladino Corojo was also a Top 25 pick by Cigar Aficionado in 2019, and I’ve enjoyed them ever since. There’s such balance to this blend, and its profile is very reminiscent of what most would call a “classic cigar”.

Punch Golden Era - Bella01/05/2024
For me personally, I enjoy spice but in a tempered way. Punch Golden Era is refined, and after I smoked one Churchill with water, I wanted to amplify the underlying cinnamon note, so I grabbed another cigar and some Sazerac Rye. The candied spice note in my whiskey harmonized perfectly with this blend!

Punch Golden Era - Oscar01/05/2024
Julio and Justo Eiroa used non-hybrid seeds, meaning what grew the leaves for this blend genetically originate from Cuba without any cross-straining: this is almost like being able to enjoy a classic Cuban-style cigar without any of the legal issues. Of the three vitolas, the Toro is my preference day or night.

PunchGolden Era - Kelly01/05/2024
I’ve enjoyed other Punch cigars regularly, but Golden Era having received a ‘90’ rating upon release from Cigar Aficionado caught my attention. The Honduran Havana Seed Corojo wrapper was as silky on the palate as it was in my hands; perhaps the most enjoyable experience was each nuance never overpowering the other.

Punch Golden Era01/05/2024
If you know anything about the history of the El Corojo farm in Cuba, then you’ll understand why what the Eiroa family did with this blend is so important. The adherence to old Cuban tradition transplanted to Honduras resulted in a multi-dimensional cigar that speaks cleanly on the palate. A perfect pairing with my afternoon coffee.
