[Tommmmm]

Hello everyone, first of all I wanna say it’s so bad about WLT won’t carry cigar leafs in the future

ok my question is anyone know any info about this corojo wrapper?(https://wholeleaftobacco.com/collections/cigar-wrapper-binder/products/corojo-wrapper-1-lb-17)
Like what religion it from. Is it corojo 99? how long it’s been aged ect.

Thx for the help

Since this is purchased as "Corojo", by WLT, if WLT does not state the geographic origin, then there is no way to know. There are several named varieties of Corojo that are simply named "Corojo". Corojo 99, by contrast, is a specific, different varietal name, which I would expect to be named on the WLT site.

I have grown 5 different varieties of Corojo, including Corojo 99. The most noticeable difference is in their productivity and leaf size, which is not relevant for purchasing finished, whole leaf.

Looking at the image on the website my best guess would be that its Ecuador grown but it's just a guess

Thx for your reply. Very professional answer. Any chance u may know about where this tobacco from? I’m assuming the flavor should be different based on the region of the country

WLT is in Akron, Ohio. I am south of Blacksburg, Virginia. So their warehouse is over 6 hours away, by car. Perhaps you could inquire of WLT using the contact link on their website.
