Ladies and gentlemen, cigar fans and connoisseurs - welcome to the ultimate battle of the rings! Today, two absolute powerhouses from the Camacho corner face each other: Broadleaf<\/strong> against Corojo<\/strong>! Both a GORDO - big and powerful. Two legends who smash the tobacco shreds around each other's ears with flavours, power and character. But hopefully there will be a winner this time. I tested three of each line!

Review of the first battle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The CAMACHO Corojo has already had one title fight, against the CAMACHO Ecuador. Back then, both cigars won, see here.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, I didn't taste 3 cigars per line at the same time, but on different days. For the photos, the two cigars were allowed to slip into their combat gear and into the make-up studio.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Round 1: The first impression - Who has the stronger jab?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both opponents enter the ring with confidence. The Corojo cigar comes across with its typical spicy dominance - although it seems a little shy in the first few seconds. And the Broadleaf cigar? It is not impressed. It takes advantage of this, of course, and immediately counters with a dark, sweetish force that makes it immediately dangerous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Point to Broadleaf<\/strong>, because with its sweetish vigour it elegantly balances out the too shy attacks of the Corojo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is a \u201ejab\u201c?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Jab<\/strong> is a term from boxing and refers to a fast, straight punch with the lead hand (i.e. the hand that is further forwards). It is used to maintain distance, control the opponent and initiate combinations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my cigar battle, the Jab<\/strong> in other words, the first impression that the cigar leaves behind - the \u201eopening shot\u201c of the flavour profile, so to speak. \ud83d\udca5\ud83d\udd25<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tension increases from round to round! Sometimes the Broadleaf is ahead, sometimes it's the Corojo!<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Round 2: The power of flavours - who hits harder?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Now it's getting serious! The Corojo is now moving forwards with confidence - leather, earth, spices and a concentrated load of power. She's determined to win this time - she's powerful and fast! But Broadleaf has a stout defence. Its sweetness remains constant, but is supported by coffee, dark chocolate and subtle roasted flavours. This is a real storm of flavour!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Point to Corojo<\/strong>, because it develops its surprising depth and convinces not only with power but also with clever playing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Round 3: The balance - who can hold out longer?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the middle of the battle, it becomes clear who has the better reserves. Corojo remains strong, but loses a little of its speed and once again has a touch less self-confidence - but the pepper notes and the spice keep pushing themselves to the fore and it stays well in the fight. Broadleaf, on the other hand, remains supple, structured and profound - it dances on its legs super-fast and gives the Corojo one jab after another. The balance tips very narrowly in favour of the dark titan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Point to Broadleaf<\/strong>, because she is more self-confident and throws incredible jabs!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Now the Broadleaf is back in front. But the Corojo is brave and won't give up!<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Round 4: The final - Who will go down?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Now it's time for the knock-out! Or is it? The Corojo gives its all - goes into the infight once more - its distinctive flavour explodes, but Broadleaf has perfected its cover. Instead of being overrun by the Corojo's power, it counters with a dark sweetness and a buttery-soft smoke structure. The power doesn't quite run out, but the will to knock it out is missing a little.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And now comes Corojo again! It pushes forwards, fast and straightforward with refined power, wood, earth and coffee beans - B\u00c4MM-B\u00c4MM - one elegant jab after the other. The Broadleaf staggers - oh my good cigar gods - does the Corojo win by knockout this time?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The events are coming thick and fast! The Broadleaf comes back with 6 blatant jabs, full width into the Corojo: pepper, peat, strength, even more pepper and wood with a refined sweetness - B\u00c4MM-B\u00c4MM!<\/strong> But the Corojo holds against it, it suddenly becomes a little deeper and darker, its willpower remains at a high level, something fruity suddenly comes out (where does that come from?), pepper, deep peat...!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two<\/strong> Points go to COROJO!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not a knock-out, but a technical knockout for COROJO<\/strong> - two points ahead of the rest of the field to finally secure a well-deserved victory!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion: Why Corojo wins, but the Broadleaf fought fantastically<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Corojo has its legendary punch, is a touch more versatile, has the more powerful jabs, no question about it. It is direct, flavourful and full of character. But the Broadleaf is refined and, above all, stable over the rounds. Its dark notes, harmonious balance and superb smoke development make it a deserved runner-up in this battle. But only just.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
