The cigar line Corrida, translating to "Bullfighting" in Spanish, was formed for the European Market within the Villiger Cigar Company in 2017. Corrida is most know for their two cigars: Corrida Honduras Robusto and Corrida Dominicana Robusto with the latter using well-aged Dominican tobaccos.
The Corrida Dominican Republic Robusto is a mild cigar boasting a blend of long-matured Dominican tobaccos, wrapped in a double-fermented Ecuadorian wrapper. With a sturdy Besuki binder from Indonesia and Piloto and Olor tobaccos from the Dominican Republic in the filler, the cigar burns well and draws smoothly, and gives off a woody taste. The Colorado-colored, 5.51' inches long and 50 ring-gauge Robusto format is a perfect size for a 50 minute smoking session. Despite the name's association with bullfighting, the Corrida Dominican Republic Robusto offers a pleasant smoking experience that is anything but aggressive. It is an excellent choice for those seeking a mild and enjoyable cigar with great Dominican flavors.
A true Big Boy, excellent build, almost pure white ash, great draw, as good as Dominican gets, yet it leaves me wanting the missing secret ingredient that defines a Cuban cigar. Like a cake that tastes good, but is missing something, like vanilla bean or butter, that makes a cake really satisfying. A fine cigar for those that do not miss the rich taste of Habanos. I am only one smoker & my opinion should not deter anyone from enjoying the high quality of this cigar. I like it but I keep hoping for more
