Okay so lots of people have been asking about the difference between the various camacho corojo cigars. I spoke with everyone over at camacho today and and got the difinitive answer. Make sure you read all the way to the bottom becuase there is some exciting news at the end.
Camacho Corojos all have the same filler and binder but are seperated by the wrapper type. I am going to assume that everyone knows the difference between shade and sun grown and the implications of each. Thor has writtens some about it. Basically sun grown is stronger.
Camacho Corojo Natural: Shade grown corojo wrapper picked from the second and third primings (From the top). a little less robust (although still very full bodied) a more delicate wrapper that typically burns easier.
Camacho Corojo Maduro: Including both Camacho Diploma Mad. and Monarca Maduro. To my surprise they use a mexican leaf for this. That is why it tastes so different. It is also treated differently.
Camacho Corojo Ltd.: These are only the best leaves picked from only the 1st priming from a sungrown plant. This makes the wrapper more durable and thinker. Harder to burn but lots more flavor.
So right about now poeple mus tbe wondering "what about the 2nd and 3rd primins of the sun grown plants?" That is what I was asking. Basically what does the leaf on the tiers used for corojo natural get used for on the sun grown plant. This is the good part.
Camacho Corojo Dark: A darker natural wrapper from primings 2 and 3 from the sun grown plant. There are fewer of these cigars made then of the corojo ltd. (diploma) line and are extremely hard to come by. Typically only available a few times a year.
I had no idea this dark style even existed but am excited as hell about it. I have some cigars coming in next week. There will probably be a limit of 5 cigars per customer per visit. I will post when they are up for sale.
