Corojo wrapper, now you have my attention. I'm having a hard time deciding which wrapper I like best -Corojo or Ecuador Maduro. Both go so well with Criollo98 . Its a blend that only needs a few other leaves with it.
If you have the supply on hand try this blend wrapped in Corojo...probably my best and most favorite so far. Matter of fact I have 6 in a box now resting for who knows how long.
1 Criollo98 viso
1 Nicaraguan Habano seco
1 Nic Habano viso
(inner wrapper leaf) Corojo binder
Corojo wrapper
Take the Corojo wrapper leaf and case it ,let it soak up for an hour or so,bring it out and gently straighten the leaf , lay it out , smooth it on your rolling board surface. Cut off 1/8-1/4 inch of the natural edge so you have a clean edge remaining , then come back and cut your wrapper strip off of that which shouldn't be more than 2 inches wide for most of the leaf. Set that aside in a plastic baggie to maintain case, use the rest for your binder. Bind it without trimming the head end. Roll that into a pigtail . Roll that up in a 2 inch newspaper strip (as if it was a wrapper leaf) and let that sit an hour to overnight. Unwrap the newspaper and prepare your wrapper leaf.
Smoke it with a cup of strong coffee or a short tumbler of Whiskey ,neat or 2 ice cubes. Tell me what you think .
Luckily, Ive still got a lb or two of mostly Seco left over from before anyone paid attention...
