Camacho Triple Maduro
Received a couple in the mail from Angel last week. Sparked one on Sunday.........
4.5 X 50 beauty. Smells nice and earthy/barnyard-y right out of the cello. This thing is so new it doesn't even have a band. Dark, smooth wrapper with the darkest filler tobaccos I've ever seen. I've seen dark "streaks" or "swirls" in the foot of other smokes before, but this is the entire fill. The cigar is so firmly rolled I was most pleasantly surprised at the PERFECT draw of this thing. No lip tingles from this one, but a very nice rich, sweet tobacco flavor before adding fire. After sparking, this beauty burned like a champ. Still not much in the way of tingle on the lips (for reference, smoke a coyolar-hooo boy) but there is some mid-tongue. The flavor is smoooooooth, rich, but NOT strong. If you're looking for a powerhouse, this AIN'T it. If you're looking for rich and complex, spark one up. The ash was very firm, medium grey and held on with tenacity. I have no clue how Christian was able to blend all this thick, maduro leaf into a cigar that will burn as well as this one does with no bitterness or harshness. I understand these will be very limited in production, so if you get a chance to pick one up, do so.

Thanks for the review, I'm drooling already. Hope they come down this way.

Not Maduro's, but I just got a box of 20 Camacho 100% Corojo, Churchills for $99 from Abner's World.
I smoked just one so far, and it is really an excellent smoke. There was a Spiff, 4 ElLegend~arios thrown for free. Abner's are good people to deal with. |

Good review - thanks! I don't think this is the smoke for me, but it sure has been a long time since I've had a Camacho Corojo. I used to have a regular stock of these in my humi, however, now not a single one. Perhaps I ought to do something about that.
