The Cigar: Smoke N' Guns Corojo Corona
The Specs:
Wrapper: Honduras Corojo
Binder: Nicaragua
Filler: Honduras & Nicaragua
Country of Origin: Honduras
Strength: Medium
Size: 4.5 x 44
Shipping: US and Canada addresses only
Due Date: December 26, 2019
The Hype:
The Smoke N' Guns Corojo is a collaboration between Oscar Valladares (who also rolls the Leaf & Bean line) and the founder of Smoke N' Guns, Inc of Pittsburgh, PA, a unique shop that sells cigars, coffee and has a fully licensed gun sales counter in the back of the shop.
With a wrapper from Honduras, its filler has leaves from both Honduras and Nicaragua and binder from Nicaragua, with a peppery start and a wonderfully smooth finish. Its easy draw makes it a great smoke with no labor at all. This medium bodied cigar is the perfect afternoon smoke break. One of the hidden gems.

Looks like we have our panel in place. Chuck has indicated that your cigar will go out soon so that you have plenty of time to acclimate to your preferred humidity and get your review done.
Reviewers: Please leave a note in this forum when you cigar is received in the mail so that we know that everyone has gotten their sample.
