The 2017 IPCPR Trade Show saw Casa Fernandez go back to its roots focusing on lines featuring its Aganorsa farm-grown Nicaraguan tobaccos. One such line that was unveiled at the 2017 IPCPR Trade Show was a line called Buena Cosecha Corojo.
Buena Cosecha Corojo for “Good Harvest Corojo”. It’s a blend of Aganorsa farm Corojo ’99 and Criollo ’98 tobaccos highlighted by a Corojo ’99 wrapper. It’s a blend produced at Casa Fernandez’s SABOR (Sabor Aganorsa S.A) in Jalapa. Casa Fernandez acquired this factory a little over a year ago.
The cigar is offered in three sizes (Robusto, Toro, and Torpedo) packaged in 20-count boxes.

The cigar is a nice box pressed and has a very pointed cap. It has a nice feel in the hand.
I took a very small amount of the cap and the test draw was a little tight. So, I used my PerfecDraw tool to open the end. The initial flavors at light up were sweet cedar with some candy-like citrus notes, quite a bit of brown sugar, nice amount of cinnamon, a lot of a dry, pasty, leathery nutmeg, and a black coffee base. There was a nice amount of black pepper rated at 7 1/2. Good start.
At about 1 inch (14 minutes +/-) the cigar has settled down into sweet cedar, a lot of brown sugar and cinnamon, a thick, pasty, leathery nutmeg, and black coffee. The leathery nutmeg is very prominent but so is the brown sugar and cinnamon. 
At the first third (39 minutes) the cigar comes across as a very solid cigar. It's not overwhealming me but it's quite good. The leathery nutmeg has slightly increased. Before the cigar was pretty much in balance. Now it's more of a 60/40 split between the leathery nutmeg and the sweeter notes. The finish is nutmeg and brown sugar with modest lingering black pepper. The cigar is medium bodied. I rated the first third 93.
As I moved through the second third (1 hour 14 minutes) I noted the cigar having a lot of brown sugar. It's very sweet. You hardly notice the cedar. There is also a lot of cinnamon. The nutmeg is not as leathery and has somewhat decreased. The cigar is a high grade medium to full bodied. The finish is also very sweet and unchanged. The lingering black pepper has improved. Even though the cigar is very sweet it's moved into the average category. It's not overly impressing me. It's still very enjoyable but lacks a wow factor. I dropped the second third score to 92.
The cigar lasted a nice 1 hour 40 minutes. It held serve in the final third and didn't change much. It's still heavy on the brown sugar and cinnamon, light on the cedar, average or above on the pasty nutmeg with not as much leather, and black coffee. The cigar is now full bodied. The finish is unchanged in flavors but there is more nutmeg to go along with the brown sugar. This is the type of cigar that I could have as an every day cigar at any time of day. Good, basic cigar. Nothing spectacular but good. I rated the final third 92.
Overall Score: 92.33
