6/15 Corojo Maduro Corona
I was looking forward to putting these 2 corona's head to head, and here we go!
Nose is strong earth, tobacco and spice.
Cold draw is bitter espresso, spice and hay.
1st third: Deep but mellow, not the pepper bomb the regular Corojo was. Taste is earthy, red pepper and spice. Smell is black pepper, spice and coffee.
2nd third: Taste is spice, indeterminate pepper, and coffee. Smell is spice, wood and coffee.
3rd: follows 2nd, with the pepper emerging as red, and nuts joining the aroma.
Final thoughts: Deeper than the Corojo, but I actually prefer the Corojo over the Maduro.
