Aladino Corojo "Santi"

5.5 X 32, Honduran Corojo puro.

I gave these 2 months rest. Very interested in both the unique size as well as the Honduran Corojo tobacco

I clipped one a few weeks ago and found it tight. I sought advice from @pantsBoots and learned 2 things- 1) they're supposed to be kinda tight, and 2) I hadn't given them as much rest as I thought. So, I clipped and draw tested 5, and back into the box they went (68°F, 65RH). Couple weeks later and they are still on the tighter side but perfectly smokeable. It takes longer than we think for tobacco to equalize/stabilize...

Anyway, some nice flavors and even burn. Spices that remind me of pumpkin pie, Chex cereal, earthines that brings to mind real carrots or maybe the store ones that are purple and white in addition to orange. Light richness (!?), a cool smoothness that I can't yet identify. OK I'm gonna stop with all that. But it's real

Bottom line = like.

Coming up on 55 minutes. Glad I've got 9 more

I actually love that Aladino released with some more traditional, thinner sizes.

To me the Honduran corojo used in the Aladino and Eiroa brands is the closest thing to Cuban Partagas type flavors.

Smoking a Joya de Nicaragua Cinco de Cinco. A very nice expression of the Mexican wrapper, Nicaraguan guts genre. I just debate whether it justifies its price tag. Don't get me wrong, though. It's very good.

Plenty of coffee down the hatch, Espinosa Knuckle Sandwich 6x56 oval smoking just right! Good start to a Monday! Have the best version you can.

RYJ Reserva Real Lonsdale, some Modelo with a healthy splash of Cajun Two Step…I think I’ll call Monday done. Cheers, fellas.

Joya Cabinetta will be my last cigar of the day. Hope you all have had a fine Monday. If not, there’s always Tuesday.

A small bowl of Winchester left me wanting a little more tobacco. Fortunately, I found an Undercrown shade coronet at the bottom of my smoking pack: exactly what I needed.
