Corojo 2012 is notable not just for being new, but because the company says it provides more character and strength, particularly when grown in Jalapa and then used as wrapper.

But in the case of the HVC 10th Anniversary, the tobacco is part of the filler, joined by Nicaraguan corojo 99 and criollo 98 tobaccos. The binder is a Nicaraguan leaf of undisclosed varietal and region, while the wrapper is a Nicaraguan corojo 99 leaf grown in the Jalapa region. The cigar is offered in a 6 1/2 x 50 toro extra vitola, with production limited to 2,000 boxes of 10 cigars being produced, and each cigar priced at $15 per cigar.
