Rojas Los Tejanos Toro by OSOK and Rojas Cigars

While this cigar isn’t technically new, it is to the OGT humidor, and basically the newest release from Rojas Cigars. Rojas Los Tejanos is the collaboration between Noel Rojas and Edgar Hoill of OSOK cigars. While Noel is known as ‘The King of the small guage,’ Hoill is known for richer, heavy cigars. Los Tejanos has a little of both in its blend. The cigar gets its name from Mexican immigrants who have found a place to settle down in Texas. The tejano name also has meanings in a few other things, notably a type of music. Released in a Lancero, a classic cuban vitola called mareva, and a Toro. Personally, the 6×50 Toro speaks to me.

Rojas Los Tejanos is a dark, almost midnight black looking cigar wrapped in a San Andres Maduro wrapper. The binder is Sumatra from the Somoto valley, and fillers from Nicaragua. Los Tejanos is the third blend from Rojas Cigars that uses San Andres, and is perhaps the strongest, the others being the Statement and Unfinished Business.

In terms of flavor notes, on light up there is a fare amount of salty earth with hints of peppery notes and molasses. A toasty, oaky transition sets in with more earth, a hint of dark chocolate, and fermented stone fruit, not quite as sweet as raisins, but there is a light sweetness. The body and strength on this cigar sits in the medium plus range and the flavor full. Don’t let the appearance of this cigar fool you, while it looks strong and intimidating, Rojas Los Tejanos is a very approachable cigar. I also enjoy the smoke production on this cigar, it lets you know you are smoking. This blend is easily in my favorites from the Rojas Cigar portfolio.
