"In the 1960’s, we received a handful of smuggled Authentic Corojo seeds and began growing them in the Jamastran Valley of Honduras. A rugged area of the country with a similar microclimate to that of Cuba’s famed, Vuelta Abajo region. Over the course of four decades, we learned and perfected growing the original Corojo strain outside of Cuba. Making us the last in the world preserving and in possession of this critical element that made Cuban cigars and Cuban tobacco famous. The integrity and nostalgia of Cuba’s famed Corojo tobacco lives on. We make it available without the need of a time machine."

This full-bodied cigar is a spice bomb. If you don’t like your cigars with lots of pepper…just stay away! If that’s up your alley, though, the Camacho Corojo is sure to please. There was lots of earth, cedar, and citrus sweetness in there with all that pepper, too, so it’s definitely not a one-note stick. Tremendous value overall, but for the most part my palate would demand the extra sweetness of the Maduro version.
Cigar Aficionado
Initial notes of mild, slightly sweet wheat blossom into a smoke that is rich and elegant with complex layers of German chocolate cake, café au lait, licorice and orange peel, all atop a woody base. The draw and burn of this dark belicoso are lush and even.
