I was curious if anybody has tried the Don Tomas or CI corojos. If so, how were they? I've smoked plenty of camachos, and while they are very impressive, I'm not in love with them. Tatuaje corojos seem to be the best around, (for my tastes) but they are IMPOSSIBLE to come by. Thanks.

I really like the CI Corojo toros. I have gone through a couple of 5 packs and enjoyed everyone of them.

I've smoked a few CI Corojos, found them to be just average. Flavor was ok, they just didn't burn that well. But at this price I don't care so much if it canoes to one side and I toss it halfway through.

If you like corojos, make sure you try the new Edge Corojo from Rocky Patel. Same price range as Camacho, and a better smoke, IMHO.

The CI corojos seem a little bitter, not the typical bitternes of youthful tobacco, but from lack of balancing elements. I think they might have benefited from a little blending in the filler. The leaves were very oily, and seemed like they might have age potential. Come to think of it, I've got some left, and I haven't smoked one in about two years. I think I might have to smoke one for reevaluation.
