Let's cut to the chase - the Camacho Corojo Robusto isn't for rookies. This 5x50 Honduran firecracker packs more punch than your average medium-strength smoke. Twenty sticks per box at $166.50 might seem steep, but real talk: when that Corojo spice hits, you'll understand why veterans keep this torpedo in regular rotation.
The initial punch makes you sit up straight - black pepper and charred oak dominate. Smoke output's decent, not huge. Watch that burn line though; mine needed one correction. Retrohale brings leather notes with a nicotine buzz that says "good morning".
Cedar sneaks in under the radar. Coffee grounds replace the initial pepper blast. Ash holds strong past two inches. Starts feeling heavier on the tongue - keep water handy. Sweet spot hits at 25-minute mark if you nurse it right.
Here's where Honduran magic happens. Dark chocolate emerges through the earthy base. Spice mellows but throat tingle ramps up. Tap out before the nub unless you want next-day regrets. Total smoke time clocks around 65 minutes.
