In today’s market, cigar smoking can be an expensive hobby, even a luxury, and the fact that cigars such as JFR Corojo Titan exist is both refreshing and comforting. Made by hand at Tabacalera Tropical in Nicaragua, this hearty Nicaraguan puro is proudly marketed by none other than Casa Fernandez, one of the most dominant names in recent years. JFR Corojo is made of 100% Nicaraguan tobacco – wrapper, filler, and binder. The wrapper is a spicy Corojo leaf grown in the fertile Jalapa Valley of Nicaragua. Introduced years ago as a brick-and-mortar special (JFR literally stands for “Just For Retailers”), JFR Corojo has become a huge hit over the years and continues to fly off the shelves, finding homes in the humidors of price conscious connoisseurs the world over.
Big, bad, and bold, JFR Corojo comes in chunky sizes and is rolled beautifully. The reddish brown wrapper is rustic and toothy, with delicate veins running throughout. A dense pack leads to long, solid ashes and silky blue smoke. Initially, an earthy storm of white pepper and cayenne greets the palate. Moving along, nutmeg, cinnamon, and bold raw tobacco are detectable, along with a leather note and smooth caramel on the finish. Medium-full-bodied, JFR Corojo is never overpowering and is actually quite pleasant to enjoy. The 6” x 60 Titan is smooth and mellow, offering a long burn time.
While many of the cigars in the Casa Fernandez lineup are for a more seasoned audience, JFR Corojo is a bit more simple and easy, and generally appropriate for cigar enthusiasts of all experience levels. Medium-full-bodied, JFR Corojo is fairly safe, even for those not looking for a stronger stick. JFR Corojo pairs well with scotch or bourbon but also goes with coffee, and without saying is a great choice for any time of the day. Perhaps you enjoy such ever popular sticks such as the 93-rated Guardian of the Farm or Casa Fernandez Aganorsa Miami Maduro, but simply don’t have enough room in the cigar budget to smoke them all the time. JFR Corojo is a great alternative, available here at Cigar Place for a fraction of the price, yet made in the exact same factory. Just For Retailers to sell, waiting for anyone and everyone to enjoy, give JFR Corojo Titan a shot and you might just find your next favorite cigar.
