Camacho Cigars Corojo BxP Toro in Review

WRAPPER: Honduran Corojo
BINDER: Honduran Corojo
FILLER: Honduran, USA broadleaf

FORMAT: Toro box-press (650)
ORIGIN: Diadema de Honduras, SA
INTENSITY: Medium/Med.-Full

NOTES:
Mocha | Spices | Cedar

A quite-flat yet still rounded-off press that feels a bit odd in mitt and mouth. Chocolatey earth with a rising coffee bean on the back-end. Until eventually that and all else becomes mere components of top-soil. Leathery bits. Dusty paprika and nutmeg. Black pepper flakes. Cardboard. A slight cedar w/ lemony attachment that doesn't bring structure but instead a buttery spreading of flavors. Good but simple and non-delineated. Flat is a running theme. At times lazily aggressive. Burns on a wobble that requires no re-touching. Draws well and grows admirable ash. Aroma is more confectionary than is the palate.
