Aganorsa Leaf Signature Selection Corojo Corona Gorda Natural | Corona Gorda | Pack of 5

The cigar smoker’s cigar! There’s a timeless quality to the Corona Gorda – and the way Aganorsa built this one, it oozes old world charm! At 6 x 44, the classic feel and flavor is front and center;  this format is for the “real ones” – and it’s wrapped in one of Aganorsa’s proudest achievements, Nicaraguan Corojo 99.The wrapper carries that rosado (warm, reddish-brown) glow that Corojo fans adore. This lightly-oiled leaf has been treated to careful and patient fermentation to bring out that lush spicy-sweet profile; neneath it sits the all-Nicaraguan core of tobaccos grown on Aganorsa’s own farms, plots of land that have become the go-to growing spot for many of today’s top boutique cigars.What It Smokes LikeFirst – let’s start by saying that not all Corojo smokes the same. The tobacco from Honduras is excellent, but the Nicaraguan Corojo 99 – it’s a whole other world of flavor, very authentic to the Nicaragua profile. Spark it up and it lands immediately in the medium to full range, but with the restraint that good tobacco brings. The first few puffs are bright and toasty: cedar, baking spice, fresh bread, and honey sweetness that rounds out the profile. The spice is less aggressive, and more of a warm buzz that keeps your taste buds humming.As the burn line marches along, we found moments of roasted nuts, light earth, dried herbs, and a little snap of citrus twang. Feeling bold? Retrohale it and you get even more, including a satisfying white and red pepper rush. There’s also a kind of floral note that shows up in really good Corojo tobacco.This Aganorsa selection – one of their better blends, by the way – lives up near the tippy-top shelf for both the contesnts and the construction…this Corona Gorda is a favorite of the cigar cognoscente, just because the proportions highlight everything great in the tobacco recipe. It’s a favorite for a reason! Order now, and enjoy an aficionado-caliber smoke from Aganorsa Leaf and Famous Cigars.
