Looks like I got the forum correct this time. So in a previous misplaced thread I asked for help finding 100% authentic Corojo cigars. https://www.cigarbid.com...ts/669148/Corojo-Cigars As is the case here I soon got answers. But those answers led to more questions. Palama wrote:You rang?

I did a little digging and now I'm wondering, if CLE and Aladino are the same or sister companies? ZRX1200 wrote:Eiroa Dark
Eiroa First 20 Years
CLE 25th It looks like these cigars are pretty much rolled from the same tobacco, grown on the same farm and rolled in the same factory as Aladino branded cigars. danmdevries wrote:Conan is right. If the Camacho corojo is what you're after Eiroa still makes "it" under JRE/Aladino Conan sent me a bunch and I bought a ton. It's what you're looking for. It's what I was looking for a couple months ago too https://www.cigarbid.com...ts/668902/Aladino-cigars As noted in the other thread I ordered a fiver and hopefully I'll be pleasently surprised. |

JRE has Aladino, Tatascan, Rancho Luna. Julio and Justo Eiroa
CLE is CLE, Eiroa, Asylum. Christian Eiroa
Sister companies same family
You'll be pleasantly surprised. I bought singles or fivers across most of their lines and none have disappointed. All have been more "old style" cigars. |

I’m glad there seems to be a replacement. There is a lot of corojo out there but it’s mostly hybrids that just don’t have the same flavor. I’m wondering if the tobacco is coming from the same farm as when Christian had Camacho. It’s the same valley in Honduras. |

There's a back story on that I've read somewhere (maybe a different thread here) or maybe I saw an interview. Seems their sticking with a corojo that others choose not to grow due to it's growing challenges. I don't recall if it was yield or disease or time in the field, just that newer seeds were more "efficient" but not the same. Maybe you know this already, but I thought I'd mention it. |

Yep I was aware of this. IIRC there was an article in CA 10-15 years ago. |

For a (very) brief moment, when I read the title, I thought this thread was gonna be about “Erotica” cigars.  |

Get out of the gutter Palama.
Though I was in the local B&M and saw something.
White and light blue wrapper.
Looked like lady products. |

Knowing, if you can, WHERE they’re from is just as important. I’m definitely listening and I find these break out conversations very interesting. I’m currently wracking my brain on cigar makers and what brands they’re working with, i.e. E.P. Carillo, D. Pepin Garcia, Espinosa. I am having difficulty remembering, but the more discussion i can read about this topic the better i can wrap my brain around it. Thanks for the many tips you offer to me. (I take action on you’re tips FYI)  |
