Cigars from Honduras

Honduran leaf sits between Cuban earthiness and Nicaraguan pepper, which makes it a reasonable place to go if you like both. Much of it is Corojo grown in the Jamastrán valley near the Nicaraguan border. Fermentation is done in pilones, the traditional stacked piles, over several cycles.

Cocoa, roasted walnut, white pepper, leather, oak
