That's hello at loungelizardspod.com. Our podcast is presented by the Fabrica 5 Cigar Company.

No way.

Listen, and that's a Corojo.

It's got some Corojo in it.

I think that moonflower and this Perdomo are, you know, they're right there.

Nice.

And I'm not putting down...

More of a natural sweetness.

Yeah, it's like that natural Cameroon, Corojo.

Next runner up is Connecticut, 55.

Next is like Habano, Broadleaf, Natural, aka Sun Grown, and then specifically Corojo or Brazilian wrappers I have listed.

I have now smoked, because of this cigar, thank you, Julian, 261 unique cigars without repetition this year.

HVC has 60 different offerings?

So they, they've added brands to it.

I have bought brands just because like I have the dose 77 and the Corojo right now, just because it was on the portal.

And I'm like, to your point, it allows you as a lounge owner to play around and experiment with stuff.

I've never had the dose 77.

have cigar.

That's what I've been telling everybody.

I'm like, man, if you like an OG Corojo, try this cigar.

I would have never had that.

And it's a little more like, it has a little bit higher water retention and it's a little oilier.

And so when the Ecuadorian Corojo wrapper, which can be, it's not a thin leaf, but it's a little thinner than the binder, it can dry out faster.

And so then what will happen is if the binder is, is a little more oily or a little more wet than the, um, wrap relief, it can act like a firewall, uh, between the, the, the bunch and the, and the wrapper.

So that's what was, that was going on.

That was the goal.

And then how we got there, we explored a couple of things.

But I love Corojo.

So we started there and then we stuck on Corojo.

Yep, and I think one that does not get enough attention is, you know, we talked about that apple cider.

Specifically, if you have a fresh apple cider, that can really pair beautifully with a Cameroon or a Habano, maybe a Corojo, medium-bodied cigars.

That apple sweetness and the acidity and the cinnamon and the clove, they can really create this great contrast without overwhelming the tobacco.

Yeah, and then there's dark rums that people get into.

Is it

Dominican Corojo? Wrapper is Ecuadorian Habano.

Binary filler, both from Nicaragua.

Shit.
