The Camacho Corojo Gordo wraps a 6 x 60 frame in a fifth-priming wrapper of Honduran Corojo, with Corojo binder and filler, and is made in Honduras. Look for pepper and leather in a big-ring smoke that runs well past an hour, and we sell it as singles.

Description
The Camacho Corojo Gordo puts Honduran-grown Corojo into every part of a 6 x 60 cigar, with a fifth-priming wrapper over Corojo binder and filler. Camacho, which halfwheel identifies as an Oettinger Davidoff brand, rolls it in Honduras at Agroindustrias Laepe S.A., the factory named by Cigar Coop and Cigar Dojo.
What It Tastes Like
Cigar Dojo’s April 13, 2015 review of this exact size opened on hay, caramel and a tangy edge, added cedar and a faint Cuban-style mustiness, brought cream forward mid-way, and closed with black pepper and a jalapeño-like heat. Davidoff, Camacho’s parent company, describes the Gordo with pepper and leather. For a sister size, Cigar Aficionado rated the 5 x 50 Robusto 88 points on February 1, 2020, noting leather, pepper and cocoa over earth.
Who It’s For
- Thick-gauge fans with time to spare; Davidoff estimates 70 to 90 minutes.
- Corojo devotees who want the varietal in every leaf, not only the wrapper.
- Fans of bold Honduran tobacco drawn to the pepper and leather Davidoff lists for it.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Corojo throughout the blend, per Cigar Coop
- Cigar Dojo praised its effortless draw and generous smoke output
- A core-collection cigar, per Davidoff
Cons
- Cigar Dojo’s sample canoed and cracked near the head, and the reviewer wanted more complexity
- A big 60 ring commitment: Davidoff puts it at 70 to 90 minutes, so it is not a quick smoke
About the Camacho Corojo Line
Cigar Coop credits Camacho’s 2012 Bold Standard launch with reviving the Corojo, a year halfwheel ties to a makeover of the whole portfolio; the Gordo followed in January 2015. Its report also traces the seed to Cuban plants that now grow in the Jamastran Valley of Honduras.
