Description: I got this cigar as part of a word of mouth promotion they are trying over at Social Cigar, Camacho’s new online cigar community. The cigar was very nice looking, and actually very dark for a natural wrapper. If hadn’t seen the nearly black SLR Maduro you could have told me this was the Maduro and I would have believed you. The wrapper had a little tooth on it and one bigger vein in it, but overall very well constructed. I checked the prelight draw and found it acceptable picking up some hints of leather and wood.

On the first few puffs I’d say overall the cigar was mostly a smoky wood and nutty flavor reminding of walnuts and hickory. After a couple of inches into the cigar, nearing the midway point, I picked up more strong black coffee or bitter chocolate flavor. I’d heard some descriptions saying the cigar had some creamy notes to it, but I was never able to pick that up.

About this time I took notice of the burn, or the fact that I didn’t have to take any notice of the burn. It was flawless, not to mention the fact that the ash held on extremely well. I love it when I don’t have to concern myself with keeping a cigar lit.

Verdict:

Coming in at just over $6 a stick these are a good smoke. Not a super complex cigar, but some really nice flavors to it. Many Camacho cigars can lean towards the strong side, but this one didn’t phase me.
