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
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
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.
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.
see that's how rare it is. no Corojo....
Just in time for lunch... How goes it, Flip.
got a few moments here to catch up with the guys... Just getting back into the swing of things, over the holiday weekend, my 32 year old daughter, had a miscarriage, this was going to be her & SIL's 2nd child, they have a happy healthy 20 month old already. spent the 1st couple of hours of the 4th of July, at a Staten Island hospital with them. kind of put a damper on the holiday festivities.
