Corojo Puro
Camacho Corojo
Camacho Corojo is a Honduran puro centered on Honduran Corojo wrapper and binder, historically presented as a full‑bodied, full‑strength line. Box‑pressed BXP variants introduce Pennsylvania Broadleaf ligero into the filler, bringing added sweetness and pepper and nudging some formats toward a medium‑plus strength.

Filler
Honduran Corojo long‑filler (some BXP options include Pennsylvania Broadleaf ligero)
Corojo is Camacho's unapologetic Honduran puro: oily Corojo wrapper and binder with long‑filler tobaccos drawn from Corojo primings. Traditionally the line leans full in both body and strength, delivering big, chewy smoke and a pepper‑forward profile. Typical notes are black pepper and cedar up front, followed by mixed nuts, earth and a leathery coffee‑and‑cocoa foundation. On BXP (box‑pressed) iterations the recipe is adjusted with Pennsylvania Broadleaf ligero in the filler, which amplifies sweetness (molasses, caramel) and sharpens the pepper—these versions sit closer to medium‑plus than the older, fuller releases. What defines Corojo is varietal boldness: the wrapper leaf is the point of emphasis, and the line rewards smokers who prefer a muscular, spicy Honduran character rather than subtlety.
