Corojo Cigars

A little bit ago, there was some posts about the Punch Rare Corojo not having any corojo in it. Gen. Cigars website didn't mention anything about the corojo either. However, when i smoke the PRC's i swear i can taste the corojo. Does anyone else run into that? Also, what are some good and great corojo cigars?

For reasons BPP can explain better than I, there is probably no authentic corojo wrapper in nearly anything touted to be corojo. Here is a pretty good article that talks about corojo, and suggests that Camacho is going to be a best bet for authenticity.

Incidentally, IMO, Flor de Oliva corojo bundles are a damn good cigar. Authentic corojo? Couldn't tell you.

Thanks for the good info Basil. Now I got to find some of these Comancho corojo cigars.

If you really want to taste corojo, try the Camacho Diploma line. I love the 11/18. It's ALL corojo - wrapper, binder and filler. A very strong cigar with flavor!!!

I will second Flor De Oliva's corojo
also mention Famous Nicaraguan private selection corojo is also a great corojo cigar with some stregnth and lots of flavor....more expensive then the FDO's but still low priced and can be found even cheaper at famous' auctions.
Gran Habano #5 corojo is good very full flavored,almost artificial like.
The CAO Vision I had last night was great
Camacho diploma of course,even a corojo maduro
Edge corojo
Camacho El Legend ario corojo
Alot of folks I see like cusano corojo but I dont care for it,you may though.
Rocky Patel Cuban Blend at Famous has a great corojo
Don Pepin Garcia's..corojo wrapper,spicey and peppery
La Aurora 1903 edition perfidio corojo is great
And of course,my favorite corojo wrapper.....Tatuaje

The camacho corojo,diploma,and el legend airo are the only true corojo I believe as mentioned.The rest are wrappers maybe filler.

It looks like this Penguin guy is even more of a corojo ho than I am.

I'd be careful with some of the smokes he listed. Unless you are accustomed to smoking strong cigars there are a few there that might make you a bit green around the gills.

Thanks, my B&M is having a Camancho event this thursday so I hope to grab some of the corojo sticks there.
