Originally this cigar came packaged in 5 packs and was named El Carajo, carajo being a somewhat vulgar expression of surprise, e.g.: “Carajo! That cigar is good.” The word Carajon is made up, it’s a fusion of “carajo” and “cajón”, which means cabinet.
The cigar itself is very small but entirely hand made and packs a surprising punch of power and flavour. The blend consists of an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper and Dominican fillers and binder from the La Flor Dominicana farm.
