Corojo Seeds and Wrappers

[vewyphishy]

I recently read an article about the fragility of growing good corojo leaves. It led me to a few questions.

- How do these leaves compare to Cameroon or Connecticut Shade (or any other mainstream wrappers)

- What cigars actually use the corojo wrapper?

:lookup:

I know Camacho is one of them, and quite a good smoke if you ask me

I don't know if all Punch cigars are made with the corojo but the Punch Rare Corojo is I'm assuming. I've only had one of these and it was a couple years ago. I didn't like it but my tastes have changed somewhat and I might feel differently now.

Punch Rare Corojos are actually a dark Sumatra wrapper believe it or not. They are kick a$$ smokes if you ask me Cusano also makes a real Corojo wrapped cigar. Camachos are probably the most universally loved Corojo though.

Any other corojo's out there besides Camacho?

I read that Ashton (or Fuente) was trying to make a special edition cigar with the corojo wrapper. Sounds like an interesting idea.

There are very few. The only ones I know of are Cusano and Trilogy.

Phishy, You should try and grab some of the Cusano's! They are a really good smoke! I have had the pleasure of one and will be looking for more. Thanks bro! (you know who you are! )
