Originally released in 2023, the Aladino Limited Edition was hugely popular and the company decided to run it back this year. This 6 x 52 Toro sports the famed Eiroa Cameroon-Seed Honduran wrapper leaf and is bound and filled with their prized Honduran Corojo. I did not smoke the 2023 edition of this cigar, but was very excited to get some of these 2024s and could not wait to smoke one. I figured I might as well review it!

This cigar is beautifully presented with the combination of the white, gold, and red primary band and foot band against the light brown, veiny wrapper. The cigar smells of sweet baking spices and cedar. The cold draw has subtle notes of bread and cream. First light brings about plenty of full bodied smoke with medium-full flavors of sweet wood, a touch of tannins, and some baking spices. The retrohale has a lot of cane sugar and spices with some soft earthiness. About an inch in the tannins have dropped out and some brown sugar has joined the profile. Nearing the end of the first third I would say the flavors have come up to full. Entering the second third the performance has been flawless thus far and the profile is now full of citrus and creamy baking spices. The retrohale continues with the sweet spices. Crossing the halfway point the profile has shifted towards a slightly salty earthiness with some subtle sweetness mixed in. The final third has seen a ton of sweet cinnamon join the fray - cinnamon flavor, but not the cinnamon heat. Coming to an end at about an hour and a half the profile remained the same as the last update and the performance was perfect throughout.
Overall Experience
Overall this was a very enjoyable cigar. If you are a lover of Aladino then this is a real treat and perfectly fitting as a limited edition. To me, it was as if the Aladino Corojo and the Aladino Camerron had a child. The profile contained baking spices throughout, which I find in both of the aforementioned blends, but it had moments of citrus and earthiness like the Corojo, and moments of brown sugar and cinnamon like the Cameroon. This blend was full of flavor, but not strength, which I think makes this a cigar that would suit so many smokers’ palates. The only smoker that probably wouldn’t be satisfied is the one that looks for dark, bold, peppery, strong cigars. Otherwise, grab a few of these before they’re gone!
