Episode 511. Josh Bentley-KY. Derby Cigar Vendor 🏇🌹| KENTUCKY DERBY 152🏇🌹

A cigar-shop event listing names him as “Altadis Rep Josh Bentley” & lists Altadis-associated brands including Montecristo, Romeo y Julieta, H. Upmann, Henry Clay, VegaFina, Casa Garcia, Omar Ortez, Saint Luis Rey, and Trinidad.

The Derby cigar connection is most likely Romeo y Julieta’s Kentucky Derby/”Run for the Roses” limited-edition cigar, not “Modurno.”

Romeo y Julieta’s own press page says Altadis U.S.A. launched a Romeo y Julieta 1875 “Run for the Roses” commemorative edition cigar for the 152nd KY. Derby retailers list a Romeo y Julieta 152nd KY. Derby Toro, described as a 6″ x 52 Toro, med. strength, with Nicaraguan wrapper/binder/filler & origin: Honduras.

One listing says it was limited to 1,000 boxes. Another retailer lists the same 152nd Kentucky Derby cigar as “from Honduras” and priced at $250 per box of 10 or $25 per single.

Bentley is likely the Altadis U.S.A. rep. connected to promoting/selling the official Romeo y Julieta Derby cigar program.

The Honduran link appears to be the 152nd Kentucky Derby Romeo y Julieta cigar’s country of origin, not necessarily a separate company called “Odurno.”

My best read: you may have heard “maduro or confused the brand name.

In cigar language, maduro usually refers to a darker wrapper style, not necessarily a company.

In this Derby context, the verified brand trail points to Altadis U.S.A. → Romeo y Julieta → Kentucky Derby / Run for the Roses → 152nd edition made in Honduras.
