Don Tomas Corojo Robusto

Don Tomas offers choice fillers and superbly consistent construction. This Corojo is a real beauty with a supple Honduran Talanga Cubano Corojo wrapper. The wrapper is oily and has a wonderful burgundy hue to it. A powerful blend of Nicaraguan and Honduran tobaccos from the Talanga Valley in partnership with a Mexican binder is what makes this a very full-bodied cigar. Note the tissue wrapping with the label outside—feel free to remove the band and paper, and reapply the label to the bare cigar if you like. But don’t let its delicate wrapping fool you—this cigar is no softie. It packs a punch, and then some, as it is complex and dizzying in flavor and strength. In fact, we strongly suggest you smoke this one after a meal, otherwise you may fall right over. Expect very spicy flavors delivered through an impeccable draw that provides a moderate smoke volume. Look for notes of bittersweet chocolate and anise, as well as identifiably intense Honduran and Nicaraguan tobacco flavor. The finish is woody, leathery, and dramatically spiced, but lingering softer notes of chocolate hold their own through the finish. A definite cognac smoke.
