Hey guys, it's another review coming right atcha'. This time it's a bit of a doozy in a stick. I had my bro Chad recommend the next 3 sticks for the occassion and the 2nd one is well worth the review for the month. We are going with the Aladino Corojo. Let's get into this bad boy.

Aladino Corojo Robusto:

Wrapper: Honduran Corojo
Binder: Honduras
Filler: Honduras

Pre-Light/Construction:

From first glance at the box, there was an overall classic look to it, being as though this particular blend was brought back from the Eiora line. The look of the sticks itself in the box were, clean, cut, and well uniformed. The wrapper itself was broad and a drak milk chocolate tone. Slightly a little oily in the shine, but a bit toothy and well aged to the touch. The bands were based off an original band line from Eiora from Chad's knowledge of the blend. Veins and Seems were nearly invisible due to the color. The pre-slice draw was perfect to get started. The taste was very natural and peppery. Time to light it up!

The Burn Part 1:

The first few puffs were massively vibrant with a combo of both white and black pepper. Medium tone, but the bite was very strong. This was something more broader in strength. Soon some charred wood and cedar notes came into play. The flow itself was going smooth. It was at this point that this was going to be an intense review. So far nothing else has come to pass. Still the pepper notes laid dominant.

The Burn Part 2:

With much of the pepper and charred wood notes making the strong beginning, I was wondering where the rest of the stick was gonna go. Soon some earthy notes came into play to give it a bit more of a natural feel. It felt like walking into a hay barn with all the scents flourishing. The texture on my palate soon became coated with some rich chocolate notes. Blended real nice with the hay notes. It was like I had a skin tight suit that was hot off the cleaners. At this point the pepper notes started to calm down a bit. The body is at a strong medium at best, but nearing full.

The Burn Final:

With the stick coming to an end, the notes on every segment became a little more robust in texture and tone. Like a warm, sunny day if you can imagine. The pepper notes have dwindled away to the last place, while the charred wood and chocolate notes were neck and neck towards the finish line while the earthy notes went back and forth. With all this intensity of the blend itself, it became a tie between the charred wood and chocolate notes to the finish. Even down to the nub itself.

Verdict:

Powerful, Peppery, and full of character. These particular blends are the type of cigars that something worth a try. No matter the time or the day, it's something that deserves to be smoked. At least get yourself a few for a special occassion. They may have some bite, but it's worth the taste.

Next Week: Aladino Cameroon Lonsdale
