The Legend That Refused to Die

Corojo was born on Cuba’s El Corojo plantation as THE wrapper of the golden age — then disease drove her from the island, and Honduras, Nicaragua, and the Dominican Republic gave the seed a second life. The Don tells her story like family history: a legend exiled, and stronger for the journey.

Flavor characteristics are commonly associated tendencies. Final flavor depends on blend, fermentation, aging, and construction.

Her signature is spice with perfume: black pepper and cedar, warm spice, floral top notes, honest earth, and dried fruit in the finish. Medium to full in body, and beautifully complex from first third to last.
