Some cigars have really wound up being a lot more than just a source of worldly pleasure. They have actually ended up being a mystery. Such stogies can seldom still be evaluated objectively, because how can you conceal the mistaken belief? How do you approach a product that is so shrouded in legend? Something that has taken on a spiritual character? In the universe of tobacco, no product is so beset with expectations, bias, and misconceptions as a cigar from Cuba. Of course, we have to talk about the C.L.E. Corojo Robusto and unwrap the mythology of the Cuban cigar.
We wish to welcome you to join us in abandoning the preconceived notions of the Cuban cigar. We will do this through a little detour. We will approach the Cuban taste from another side. This “little detour” will take us to Honduras, where an age-old home has actually been cultivating tobacco that had its home in Cuba for generations. And for some, a stogie that is Cuban through and through has really been established in Honduras for generations. We wish to get to the bottom of this theory today. And whether there is truth behind it or not, something is specific: the letters C.L.E. have long implied the best quality and outright workmanship.
Christian Luis Eiroa is undeniable as the “King of Corojo,” therefore it is not unexpected that today we taste a C.L.E. Corojo Robusto. This 127 x 19.8|5 x 50 cigar is a great deal of the embodiment of Cuban taste, nevertheless from Honduras.
According to JRCigars,
“This Honduran puro is elegantly bound by Eiroa’s signature corojo wrapper – a staple of his brand. Furthermore, the CLE cigar is completed with meticulously aged Honduran long-fillers have been grown from Cuban seeds. This medium-full bodied masterpiece produces a long, consistent draw that flows seamlessly alongside notes of pepper, wood, espresso and earth.”
Cigars International wrote,
“CLE Corojo will definitely grab your attention with its full-bodied profile and plethora of complex nuances. This cigar can easily be called a classic corojo with zesty notes of earth, black pepper, oak, and roasted coffee – all of which are followed up with long and smooth finish.
This beauty has received a well-deserved 90-rating, noting, “Earthy coffee notes lead to a sweet vanilla finish on this well-made, even-burning cigar. It is rolled with a bulging middle, tapered foot and three-seam cap.””
It definitely seems that the vast mythology surrounding the Cuban cigar is worthy of reexamination… most suitably with one between your teeth.
