The Ash Holes

If we were opening an ice cream store, we would have enough flavors to cut the ribbon. But alas, we are a bunch of AshHoles with a cigar podcast, so we will instead cut the cap. This week we visit Aladino from JRE Tobacco.

This is a true classic cigar that channels the past when the Eiroa family was making cigars under another name. This cigar is pure Authentic Corojo grown in The Eiroa Tobacco Farm in Honduras from the original Cuban seed of Corojo. These cigars are medium strength and represent The Golden Era of cigars in Cuba from 1947-1961, with its traditional sizes, and also available in a 6.5 x 60 (Gordo) for the more contemporary smoker. The name translate to Aladdin, and this cigar is something you would wish for from a magic lamp.

In numerology the number 30 represents great communication skills, being super-creative and entertaining … this pretty much sums up The Ash Holes.

This week we light up the Diamond Crown Maximus, a cigar developed by JC Newman and and Carlos Fuente, JR. The cigar features Carlito’s secret blend of specially aged Dominican filler tobacco’s, combined with the special Ecuadorian tobacco wrapper exclusively sungrown on the El Bajo region of the John Oliva family’s Ecuador farm, that gives Maximus its unique, remarkably smooth, full-bodied flavor.

During a century, between 1717 & 1817, the Spanish Crown prohibited cigar production in the Caribbean Islands & the rest of the American Colonies, and although its precious leaves continued growing on the other side of the ocean, the “puro” cigar rolling that we all know today, could only be done at the Sevilla Royal Factory, supplying an even more demanding market in the world.

But such absurd prerogative led to the rising prices of tobacco and of course the birth of the Bandolero, an intrepid figure that hid on mysterious roads with tobacco leaves & rolled in other countries, led to an excellent price and authenticity combination, dressed with the charm of what was then forbidden.

Today we light up a cigar composed of tobaccos known only by a select few has their components were passed down from generation to generation.. Join us we light up Bandolero.

A company is nothing more than a legal entity formed to conduct business transactions. RoMa Craft Tobac it is the realization of a dream. Skip Martin has owned a retail shop, served in the Navy and has a love of cigars.
