Corojo Wrapper - Perfect Combustion. Strong Finish.

Corojo is a type of Cuban wrapper tobacco leaf originally named after the farm where it was grown. It was once the wrapper of choice for almost every Cuban cigar because of its rich, zesty flavor. This was grown by Daniel Maria Rodriguez and is one of the most sought-after wrapper leaves, valued three times more than others. But Corojo is very prone to black mold and black shank disease, so they developed hybrid varieties.

The Flavor of Corojo Wrapper

The Corojo wrapper is a shade darker than Connecticut Shade, oily and silky in texture, with a rather strong spicy aroma; it burns slowly and gives a long, enjoyable smoke. Cigars with a Corojo wrapper deliver a rich experience of complex flavors that come from spices, earthiness, and a leathery finish.

Corojo Wrapper Varieties

The most popular hybrid is Honduran Corojo, which is sweet and spicy with deep complexity. It produces full-bodied cigars with notes of pepper, leather, and earth. Corojo '99 was originally grown in Ecuador but is now grown in Nicaragua and Western Kentucky and offers layers of unique flavors. Habano 2000 is a mix of Corojo and milder Cuban tobacco that is grown in Nicaragua, Ecuador, and Honduras and produces a smoother yet flavorful smoke. Mexican San Andrés Corojo is a rare variety that adds a rich, nutty depth to the cigar.
