The JRE Tobacco Company story begins in the early 1960s when the man behind the Eiroa family cigar traditions, Julio R. Eiroa, left his native Cuba and resettled his family in Danlí, Honduras. At the time, that made him one of the first growers of Honduran tobacco for premium cigars. Yet Julio’s real claim to fame is his adaptation of genuine Cuban Corojo seeds to Honduras’ amazing soil. The result was beyond all expectations, and these very “Authentic Corojo” tobaccos have been responsible for the incomparable taste and complexity found in every JRE cigar for more than 50 years. You could even make the case that JRE Tobacco Co. is the original “boutique” cigar manufacturer.
Julio calls Aladino, “a true classic old-fashioned cigar” imbued with unique flavor characteristics that echo the “Golden Era” of Cuban cigars from 1947-1961. At the core of every Aladino are binder and fillers composed of Authentic Corojo grown on the Eiroa’s JFE estate farms in Honduras. The Corojo wrappers they use share the same authentic seed pedigree, and their farms have also grown Habano and Cameroon wrappers in Honduras with phenomenal results for their Aladino Habano Vintage and Cameroon selections, respectively.
The Tatascan brand's range of cigars offers an ideal everyday smoking experience, boasting a selection of both Connecticut and Habano wrapped cigars that incorporate authentic Corojo grown in Honduras. Praised for their unwavering consistency in flavor and construction, Tatascan cigars deliver exceptional value to smokers. The exclusive source of the tobacco in these three blends is the farm owned by the Julio Eiroa family, located in the Jamastran Valley of Honduras. Tatascan is a cigar that features a symbolic hat that represents the position of a powerful leader in Honduras, known as the "big boss," "el jefe," or "head honcho."
As the premier Corojo tobacco grower in the industry, JRE is able to provide you the opportunity and pleasure of enjoying these Corojo tobaccos for a cigar smoking experience like no other.
