I’ve smoked a lot of this line since joining this website. All the stuff I’ve had has been real solid. Love corojo wrappers and wanted to see how this measures up. Really delicious . Classic corojo flavors of baking spices, earth, molasses and slight pepper. The price on these are insane for what you’re getting. I’ve never had any construction issues with these. Having the premier membership makes these an absolute steal!

The El Ingeniero uses the same blend as the Baba Jan but in a robusto format. This medium to full-bodied smoke has a nice balance of the strength and smoothness in it. The tasting notes of caramel, brown sugar and subtle black pepper.

Just as good as the little version. Spice of the corojo with that distinct barnyard of kelners Dominican blends. Great mix.

Robusto size of the ‘Uncle Bobby’ this is a slightly larger format is a flavor bomb. If you dig on corojo spice, don’t miss these well priced smokes.
