| Viaje 10 Plus Two And A Half Red
 Anniversaries in the cigar industry are always a valid explanation for a new cigar. At one point, those were reserved for just major anniversaries, but at some point standards for what was important enough for an anniversary release just disappeared. That being said, I don’t recall a company ever releasing a cigar for a half-year […]

| Aladino Corojo Reserva Toro
 At last year’s IPCPR Convention & Trade Show, JRE Tobacco. Co. released a very interesting cigar it dubbed the Aladino Corojo Reserva. The interesting part was evident in its name, as the single vitola puro that was made up of 100 percent corojo tobacco sourced from Honduras. At that time, there was only one vitola—namely, […]
