Stallone Cigar Alazan Corojo Toro

I have written a decent amount about Corojo tobacco, commonly about Nicaraguan Corojo. But have you ever tried a Brazilian Corojo? Most Brazilian wrapped cigars use leaves like Cubra or Mata Fina. However, Tony Barrios from Stallone Cigars has created a medium plus blend around a leathery, silky Corojo leaf he has named the Stallone Alazan. Like all his Cowboy Series cigars, the name is centered around a horse. An Alazan is almost chestnut colored, which very is much represented in the color of the Brazilian wrapper leaf.

Originally, when I sampled the Alazan Corojo for the first time, I thought it was a pepper bomb. However, that was due to smoking in a very dry place at a very low altitude. The amount that climate and elevation affect the smoking experience is insane! After smoking it many times, I found a whole world of complexity and flavor I hadn’t noticed before. I always recommend trying a cigar twice to understand the blend better. In this case, trying it several times was a must.

Using fillers all from Nicaragua, the Stallone Alazan Corojo offers a pleasant pepper spice at first light. As the cigar warms up, the subtly is introduced with nuttiness, salt, toffy, intense cedar, and even a creaminess found on the back end. Closer in, pleasant butterscotch and coffee lingers. All of these flavors are intertwined with a rich spice of pepper or cinnamon. Overall, the Stallone Corojo is a complex cigar that deserves attention with no interruptions. If you have the opportunity to enjoy it, make certain you don’t have any distractions so that you might find the cigar as complex as it is. As Tony always says, light up and enjoy the ride.
