2012 by Oscar Valladares Corojo Sixty

Meet the chunky 6x60 beast from Oscar Valladares - the Corojo Sixty lives up to its name with a Honduran Corojo wrapper stretched over Nicaraguan and Honduran guts. Clocking in at $9.18 per stick in 20-count boxes, this box-pressed parejo delivers exactly what it promises: pepper bomb meets slow-burning comfort food for medium-plus smokers. The oily wrapper glistens like fresh tarmac, hiding foot tobacco that smells like a lumberyard's spice rack.

Burn Journey

First Third

Black pepper slaps your palate straight out the gate - the Corojo wrapper isn't playing coy. Beneath the spice parade: damp cedar planks and baking cocoa powder. Smoke production stays modest despite the ring gauge, with tight ash stacking in neat gray discs.

Mid Smoke

The volcanic soil notes kick in around the halfway mark - think mineral-rich earth blended with espresso grounds. Retrohale brings cinnamon toast crunch while the body creeps toward full territory. Burn line stays laser-sharp if you keep puffing rhythm steady.

Final Stretch

Last two inches amp up the leather and charred meat flavors. Nicotine buildup sneaks up on you by the nub - this ain't your father's morning smoke. Pair with root beer or black coffee to balance the spice cascade.

Head-to-Head

  • Rocky Patel Sun Grown Maduro (6x60): Sweeter cocoa core vs Corojo's pepper focus
  • Alec Bradley Prensado (6x60): More Nicaraguan twang, less earthy depth
  • Perdomo Habano Maduro (6x60): Creamier texture, lighter on spice
  • Oliva Serie V Melanio (6x60): Refined complexity vs Corojo's rustic punch

Factory Footprint

Rolled in Danlí's cigar heartland, the Corojo Sixty sources wrapper leaves from Jamastran Valley's iron-rich soils. Oscar's crew blends Estelí-grown Nicaraguan filler with Honduran binder tobacco - a Central American terroir trip compressed into 90 smoke minutes.
