Stallone Alazan Corojo Toro Box Press 5.5×56

It is no secret that Corojo tobacco is a favorite in the industry due to its strong flavor and Cuban heritage, most commonly Corojo from the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua. Still, Stallone Cigars has decided to take a new way with the Stallone Alazan, the Brazilian Corojo cigar. Compared to other Brazilian wrapper types, this Corojo one is characterized by its smooth texture and rather deep color, which reminds one of the horse that is the cigar’s namesake. On the one hand, the Cowboy Series by Tony Barrios is a tribute to the past, while the Stallone Corojo represents the next leap forward in exploring Brazilian tobacco.

The story of the Stallone Alazan relates these amazing facts about how the environment affects the quality of the smoking experience. The first time I tried this cigar, it was quite peppery. It could have been called a pepper bomb. But that initial impression was influenced by smoking conditions: a dry climate at a low altitude. Trying the same cigar at a higher elevation transported me into a whole new world where equilibrium and intrigue had their say. A small but perfect lesson: cigars, like wines, are also subject to climate and atmosphere. To go with the Stallone Corojo is to open up new layers to uncover in every smoke.

Without a doubt, the lively pepper spice from the first light of the smoke, which the Stallone Alazan Corojo Toro did not hesitate to offer to my palate, set the evening mood for a robust and dynamic showing. The cigar gets tempered by the emergence of roasted nuts, salted toffee, and cedar. In the middle of the palate, there is some smoky, subtle creaminess combined with the butterscotch, coffee, and cinnamon. The Brazilian Corojo wrapper remains steady with its brand of a rich leathery tone that highlights the complexity of the cigar without losing its great balance. This is a slow-paced and attentive kind of smoking for cigar lovers.

The Stallone Alazan is quite a highlight among the Corojo blends as it is simply a remarkable one in the world of boutique cigars. To the devotees of Stallone Cigars, it embodies Tony Barrios’ dedication to the unceasing pursuit of his artistry, a blend of bold Nicaraguan fillers and the exquisite rarity of the Brazilian Corojo. The Stallone Corojo Toro is a cigar that only pays off for the one who is willing to give it his full attention and wait patiently. If you are seeking a medium-plus smoke that is nothing like the others and is profoundly gratifying, then the Alazan is certainly the one to be housed in your humidor. You may light your cigar, relax, and, as Tony puts it, enjoy the ride.
