CLE Corojo "Sixty"

Here is another one that I received in my CI CotM club and it was my first experience with a 60-gauge cigar.....this thing was a beast!

CLE Corojo 6.0"x60 "Sixty" Double Toro/Gordo

Construction:

First, this cigar is a massive collection of tobacco. With a toothy finish and nearly invisible seams, CLE has a good looking cigar. Inside is Cuban-seed, Honduran-grown long-fillers, and the wrapper is a Corojo wrapper from Honduras. The cigar had nice aromas of wood and grass and had a nice oily sheen to it. Wrapped in a simple, yet elegant band, this cigar has a nice presentation.

Smoke:

Once opened, I was surprised at the intensity of the aged tobacco and raisin flavors. Once lit, the flavors of warm earth, leather, and some baking spice similar to nutmeg or allspice were noted. During the draw, there was a slight aroma of baking bread which was very nice. This cigar burned straight and even, and stayed cool all the way through the nub.

All in all it was a good smoke. The only issue I had was the ring gauge; at 60-gauge, it is hard to get a solid draw. I would buy this cigar again, but I would probably go with the Churchill length and gauge. Good smoke and good flavor.

Keep Smokin!
