It’s that simple. Every leaf of tobacco used in these amped-up cigars is grown from corojo seed of Cuban origin. This is a Honduran puro.
The seed has an interesting story. It was smuggled out of Cuba in the 1960s. Camacho began growing it in Honduras, specifically in the renowned Jamastran Valley with its super-fertile soil. The climate of the region is noted for its similarities to the legendary Vuelta Abajo region of Cuba. Camacho claims it possesses the only Corojo seed with origins in Cuba and that it has spent four decades perfecting it cultivation, fermenting and aging.
This energetic tobacco needs some aging smooth out its edge without reducing the power, so Camacho doesn’t rush the process.
If you’re looking for a smoke that resembles an old-school Cuban cigar, this is a good choice. Expert Camacho Corojo reviews point out the complexity of the flavors produced by this blend of Corojo.
You’ll enjoy dark, dried fruit flavors over a core of earthy leather. Flavors of pepper, roasted meat, sweet cedar, nutmeg, nuts, oak and caramel may also hit your palate over the course of one of these smokes. As noted, it’s a complex cigar, and each smoker finds a different flavor mix.
