THE WISE MAN COROJO REVIEW – DOM
Summary: Do I like mustard? Yes. Do I like tasting mustard in a cigar? I’m trying to figure that out. An inch in, spicy wood has me guessing that this is corojo (which doesn’t generally jive with my palate).
Halfway down, a floral note and the more balanced spice have me rethinking my first take. This is a good cigar that isn’t for me. Graham cracker comes as I ash the last few crumbs.

THE WISE MAN COROJO REVIEW – RICH
Summary: This cigar brought notes of almond, cocoa, cream, hay, and a bit of citrus. Most of the time while I was smoking it, it reminded me of hot chocolate with a bit of nuts and a bit of citrus. Quite enjoyable.
Construction was on point; no issues at all.

THE WISE MAN COROJO REVIEW – BENECIA
Summary: Tastes like a shortbread cookie with a hint of honey. Teddy grahams for the win!
Profile gets a little oaky with white pepper on the back end of my puffs. It's on the nutty and dryer side. Pro: it was consistent in taste, easy to smoke to the nub, and predictably even. Con: Not too many changes. If you like a few twists and turns, this definitely isn't the cigar for you.
If You Like That, You Might Like This: Daily routines
