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: 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.
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.
