Aladino Vintage Selection Elegante

Aladino Vintage Selection Elegante

Aladino Vintage Selection Elegante 1600 900 Luca Cominelli

The Aladino Vintage Selection Elegante was introduced in 2021, after the success of the Vintage Selection line, launched in 2019 using 2015-2016 crops.

The Elegante is a Lancero, with 38 x 177mm (7″). The line comprises two other vitolas: the Rothschild and the Toro. The cigars are made at the Fabrica de Puros Aladino at Las Lomas Jamastran in Danlí, Honduras.

The cigars are dressed in a Colorado-colored leaf, which is silky to the touch. By touching them, a few soft spots can be felt. The cigar’s foot looks a bit box-pressed.

Aladino Vintage Selection Elegante

Aladino Vintage Selection Elegante: the cold draw reveals seasoned cedarwood and hints of wild berries—definitely something unusual and, at the same time, attractive. The opening brings vegetal notes and some wood varnish to the palate.

Aladino Vintage Selection Elegante

The first third delivers cedarwood, nutty notes, and hints of earth. In the background, there are rich roasted notes of coffee beans present. The strength is a little above the medium level (3.5/5).

In the middle third, the flavor profile is enriched with notes of black pepper and hints of chili. There are also intense aromas of walnut present, and the cedarwood is still perceptible. The strength increases, reaching a medium to full level (4/5).

In the final third, the spices become more pronounced. The walnut and the earth are still present, but they moved to the background. The finale turns to rich balsamic notes, while the strength is confirmed (4/5).

Overall, the Aladino Vintage Selection Elegante is a rich cigar that develops a nice evolution, perceivable throughout the smoke. The flavor profile is wide and structured, with a nice complexity. A great Lancero, offered at a great price.
