Not tried 'em Donks but Corojo is a type of tobacco that used to be used in a lot of Cubans for wrappers...no longer...I think hybrids of the original Corojo are grown everywhere now, ,, but as the soils different..... bloody Newbies!

Tried these before and really enjoyed them, very peppery if i remember rightly.

From the first paragraph of Wikipedia:

"Corojo is a type of tobacco, primarily used in the making of wrappers for cigars. The variety was originally grown in the Vuelta Abajo region of Cuba but is today grown exclusively in the Jamastran valley of Honduras and in the United States in Western Kentucky."

I think you should start your own site and call it "the book of puff" (although if you called it that you may get some strange requests!)

the word pepper comes up in everything I have found about them so far,

[donkeydrop]

that is a good read very interesting, I get the impression they are in a way an old fashioned leaf, that makes them more appealing to me, well apart from being prone to blue mould!

I have had a tin of these and they are a great flavoured cigar, really impressed with them because they are such a small cigar packed with flavour. well worth giving them a go in my opinion.

at ?2.75 a stick not bad price at all if they are a decent smoke, thanks everyone some good advice here
