The Camacho Corojo is one of the strongest cigars in the world,
boasting a complex blend of rich tobaccos grown in Honduras from a rare
seed smuggled out of Cuba after the embargo.
When a cigar
aficionado hears the name Camacho, they are immediately reminded of a
rich aroma that can only be found in tobaccos grown at Ranchos
Jamastran in Danli, Honduras. This region in Central America has ideal
soil conditions and a climate that rivals the coveted Vuelta Abajo
region of Cuba. It is at this factory in that you will find the famous
Eiroa family. The Eiroa’s have been growing tobacco for generations,
and got their start in Cuba. When Communism plagued the island, Don
Julio Eiroa fled taking with him some of the greatest experience and
knowledge the tobacco world has ever known. Don Julio and his son
Christian now operate Rachos Jamastran together in Danli.
The
Eiroas took more than just their know how with them when they left
Cuba; they also took the island's most flavorful seed that was used at
the El Corojo farm. This seed is now cultivated in Honduras by Julio
and Christian and is the only truly authentic Crojo in the world. The
tobacco that sprouts from this seed is rich and spicy with lots of
muscle. Camacho Corojo is a connoisseurs cigar in that it is
appreciated by enthusiasts who have over a decade in the hobby and a
distinctive and experienced palate capable of differentiating all of
the complexities of this cigar. Camacho Corojo is full-bodied and
full-flavored. The annual production of Camacho Corojo is limited,
making them difficult to come by at times.
