Cigar Specifications
Tasting Review
The Aladino Palmas opens with a medium-bodied profile of sweet cedar, toasted almond, and light roasted coffee, accented by a gentle honeyed creaminess that lingers on the palate. The retrohale reveals soft white pepper, floral notes, and a touch of vanilla, adding brightness and subtle complexity. By the second third, flavors deepen into caramel, cashew, and cocoa powder, creating a smooth, rounded texture. The final third introduces espresso crema, lightly charred oak, and a hint of leather, finishing long, balanced, and satisfying with a refined sweetness.

Construction and Draw
The Honduran Corojo wrapper is a warm, reddish-brown leaf with a satiny sheen, flawlessly applied over a Honduran binder and 100% Honduran Corojo long-filler tobaccos grown on the Eiroa family’s farms. The Palmas vitola is expertly rolled with a firm, even pack and a clean triple cap. The cold draw offers sweet hay, cocoa, and mild spice. Upon lighting, the draw is smooth and consistent, producing dense, aromatic smoke. The burn line remains sharp with minimal touch-ups, while the ash forms tight, light-gray stacks that hold well between drops, reflecting exceptional craftsmanship.
Whisky Pairing Recommendation
The ideal whisky pairing for the Aladino Palmas is Glenlivet 15 French Oak Reserve, whose creamy malt, soft fruit sweetness, and gentle spice harmonize beautifully with the cigar’s cedar, nut, and cocoa-forward profile, enhancing its balance and depth.
