Morning, all.  Had an Oliva Connie Reserve lonsdale with about years down time last night and it was great, much better than any I'd had previously.  Not sure if it was the size or the age but if they all end up tasting like that over time, I'd put it about the EPC NWC, Griffins, and Camacho Connie.  IMO.

Mornin', Joe.  Been craving a connie lately but keep forgetting to pack one in my portable.  May go with a Heisenberg today after work.

Morning, Tony.  I like 'em quite a bit, just don't smoke them all that often because I tend to drink heavier beers when smoking.  Kinda drowns out the milder connie profiles.

So, am I the only one here who - it would seem - doesn't like cigars with Corojo wrappers?

I generally do not, with a few exceptions.

What are notorious smokes with Corojo wrappers?  I seem to be a Maddy and Habby guy myself

Camacho and CLE for starters

I wouldn't say notorious.  Those are some of the better examples.

True but they invented the leaf

Really? I thought Corojo went way back. Or did you mean they invented modern hybrids?

My understanding is that the name Corojo is the name of the Camacho family farm so they named the leaf after it

Howdy, humpers!

Howdy , Steve .

So did you end up having that D#4 the other night, Steve?

No,  a thunder storm came in rain and lighting , not wanting to get hit by lighting so I decided not to . but will try again tonight  .

The warden threw a flashlight at me once... It wasn't so bad.

Sounds like Steve was on a movie set, better fire the key grip

Those ellipsoidals'll fuck you up.

Did some quick reading, Corojo was invented in Cuba back in the day. It seems Camacho kind of bought it back to life in Honduras now others also use it

If the OOOs have Corojo wrappers, then it's not the Corojo I'm objecting to and it's something else.  I like the hell out of the OOOs.

Pretty much it, but like most things with cigars, companies have blurred the lines and definitions, so it doesn't mean as much as it used to.   Just like cigar sizes.

You could always just smoke them instead..... just sayin'

That reminds me...  What the fuck is up with La Duena Petit Robustos?  I thought 5x50 was just a robusto.

From what I can find, the Omar Ortez Original has a Habano wrapper.  The OOO Maduro is alleged by some to have a Corojo wrapper.

Persistent misprint.  It's a 4.6x52.

Yeah, they've developed hybrids to address the genetic weaknesses of Corojo, and now there's the inevitable debate about hybrid vs. pure, discussions of yield, and so on.  Then there's the out-and-out lunacy, like the fact that the Punch Rare Corojo hasn't got any Corojo.
