Does this sound believable?

They're saying that Corojo is only grown in Honduras and Kentucky. Why would cuba stop growing it? Losing faith in the wiki.

Not sure I buy that.

LeafOnly: Our Ecuadorian Corojo is grown in the Quevedo region of Ecuador. It is grown from Corojo seed similar to the Habano 2000 but grown and picked in a way to enhance its strength. This wrapper is dark chocolate brown in color and offers an aromatic taste.

TobaccoUniversity:

Developed in 1930s by Diego Rodriguez
Derived from the Criollo seed through selective breeding
Named after its birthplace, the farm Santa Ines del Corojo in > the Vuelta Abajo region
Premiere wrapper for Cuban Cigars until 1990s
Primarily grown under shade for wrappers

Cigar.com sells at least one Dominican Corojo: Cusano 18 Corojo Dominicano

Wikipedia is what happens when people, who are fed a ton of mis-information, are allowed to edit information.

Pretty sure Aganorsa is known for its corojo.

Here is the footnote information for that page. Part of the problem for sure.

Then there's this:

It sounds believable.

I'm sure some of the info is wrong. I'm pretty sure it's not exclusively grown in Honduras and western Kentucky but,......

What else sounds unbelievable?

I get my corojo filler from WholeLeafTobacco, who claim it comes from the Dominican Republic, on good old Hispaniola.

I get my corojo wrapper from the same supplier. They even specify that it grows in the Cibao Valley of the DR.

Used to have some corojo wrapper from Ecuador... here's a pic:
