Corona Chair-Holder's Review - CLE Corojo 11/18

Size:           6x48x54x48
Wrapper:   Honduran
Binder:       Honduran
Filler:         Honduran Corojo
Notes:       Grassy, dried cherries and mild spice with some hint of woody cocoa.


This stick, one of Christian Eiroa's creation from his own company, is a Honduran Puro featuring Corojo tobacco which is grown and produced at Tobacos Ranchos Jamastran.

The Handsome shape -a classical figurado with a 48 gauge at both ends and a solid 54 gauge in the middle, has a smooth, beautiful solid Colorado Maduro and is called 11/18 in honor of Christian's mother's birthday.  Strong smoke is prevalent and has an even burn with solid dark gray ash.

I find this to be a good medium flavor with light spice and wood intensifying at the 2nd and 3rd phase of the smoke. You will find that the CLE Corojo 11/18 stick will soften to the touch when you approach the middle .The CLE, a good medium body, is one of the three lines based on strength (Asylum -Full-Bodied; Wynnwood - Mild and smooth body).  Having smoked the Asylum vitolas, I find that the CLE is a pleasant smoke for those who like to take a break from their full-body cigars, but not compromise the demand for a complex flavor mix.  You get a lot of smoke mileage for about $7 (only at the Corona Smoke Shop in Okemos)
