The Grand Habano Corojo #5 comes from the Honduras and is made with Costa Rican and Nicaraguan long filler, Nicaraguan binder, and a Nicaraguan Corojo wrapper. I removed the cello and found the cigar very firm with a good weight in the hand. The gorgeous dark corojo wrapper was slightly coarse and very oily. I punched the cap and found a perfect draw with only a slight resistance.
I toasted the foot and took a couple puffs to get a good burn going, then slowly took a long first draw. Strong black pepper spice and a full-bodied smoke came through with a rich, dark cocoa taste. I could also detect a taste of raw vanilla bean. Further in the spice died down, however the full body continued with the delicious dark cocoa and vanilla with a rich earth undertone. This was a very good smoke! Towards the end the cigar smoothed out and had a deliciously long and creamy finish.
I have to say this was an incredibly good smoke with a perfect burn throughout and a strong, black ash. These can be found for $3 a stick? Holy cow!!
Thank you my friend for turning me on to what may be my next box!
