The King Street Emporium

El Carajon Oscuro

By La Flor Dominicana

The name has a bit of mischief behind it. Originally sold as El Carajo, a mildly vulgar Spanish exclamation along the lines of "damn, that's good," La Flor Dominicana eventually fused it with cajón, meaning cabinet, to get Carajon, a nod to the oversized 100-count cabinet boxes the cigar ships in. At 4x34 it is one of the smallest cigars La Flor Dominicana makes, built for a quick half hour rather than a long sit, but the blend punches well above its size. The wrapper is Ecuadorian Habano over Dominican binder and filler, sourced from La Flor Dominicana's own farm. Medium to full in body despite the small ring gauge. Made at Tabacalera La Flor in the Dominican Republic.
