This 5 x 54 Spanish Galleon corojo robusto has been in my humidor for a couple of months and I hesitated to smoke it due to the mixed reviews I heard of it. This cigar has Dominican and Nicaraguan filler and a Dominican Cubano 98 binder with a corojo wrapper, as the name suggests. The wrapper is quite dark and has a big vein running over it.
![]() The packing is quite nice, I really like the band with the old style map. The cigar is wrapped in cedar that has a band on the foot and the cigar and cedar are packed in cellophane. The predraw is fine and the construction feels good. The cigar has a dry grass aroma. ![]() I taste a mild acidy kind of coffee with a mild sweetness to it. The strange sweet flavor keeps noticeable until I reach the mid of the cigar. There is also a musty feeling to the flavor. At the 2/3rd point the cigar gets a bit bitter. ![]() I had a bit of a crooked burn. The smoke is a bit thin and there is not a lot of it. The ash is light colored and firm. They claim this cigar is medium bodied and they are right, but they don’t advertise that it is mild flavored. ![]() Would I buy this cigar again? Nah, there are better cheap sticks out there Appearance: 7 / 10 Construction: 7 / 10 Draw: 7 / 10 Smoke & ash: 6 / 10 Burn: 6 / 10 Aroma (first part) 6 / 10 Aroma (middle part) 6 / 10 Aroma (last part) 5 / 10

For a cheap stick, the ash looks pretty clean and the appearance is pretty strong--nice and squatty!

Nice review. I got a free one of these from AtlanticCigar with my purchase in the Churchill size. After finding out that the Equus Cigar Company makes these, I am having doubts whether to look forward to smoking them.
