I received five of these beauties in the mail from Camacho as a prize for a contest on twitter and I couldn’t wait to smoke one as its the perfect size for an after lunch smoke (I can finish it in the amount of time it takes me to drive back to work from lunch). From the moment I first fired it up, I knew this was going to be a bit different then anything I had tried before. (more…)

Appearance & Construction: This cigar is dark looking cigar sporting a red and gold band and a secondary band that lets me know this is Maduro, as if I couldn’t tell from the dark brown wrapper. The wrapper is kind of dull looking but is smooth to the touch. The cigar has a little give to it when pinched gently between my fingers and the roll of this cigar is great. No visible defects with this cigar. (more…)
I do not usually make a big deal about the band on the cigar (in this case the over-sized normal band and the one on the foot) but I think that the band perfectly encapsulates what this cigar is all about. The bands are sleek, stark and over-the-top. Mostly silver and black, with a thin line of red and some other colors, the bands give you the sense that this stubby cigar means business. Having smoked some before, I know that it means serious business. (more…)

This week, I’ll be reviewing the Camacho SLR Maduro in the Rothschild size. The SLR, Special Limited Reserve, are made with two wrappers: natural corojo and an US Connecticut broadleaf maduro. Camacho use 100% Pinareno tobacco in the cigars from Rancho Jamastran in Honduras famed for their Corojo. The tobacco is aged for 5 years to really bring out the flavor of the corojo. The one I’m sampling today is about 3 or 4 years old which is why it has the old packaging. The cello wrapper around the cigar actually turned yellow. I haven’t had one of these in a long time, too long, so I choice this one for this week’s review. The cigar comes in different sizes in the different wrappers. (more…)

The Camacho Triple Maduro is the first cigar in history to utilize 100% maduro tobaccos in its blend.
The Camacho Triple Maduro is a prime example of the perfection of this art. The cigar itself is an exceptionally full flavored smoke that is both strong and complex. The core flavor on the palate (more…)

I first reviewed the Camacho Triple Maduro back in May 2007. That review was based on a cello wrapped unbanded Rothschild that was provided to me by Camacho before the official release of this much heralded cigar. I found the cigar to be a pretty decent smoke, but I was not wowed by it. Subsequently, I have been informed by others who also tried one of these unbanded “pre-releasedâ€? versions of the Triple Maduro, that the Triple Maduro which ultimately hit the shelves is much better. I don’t claim to know if there is really any difference between what is on the shelves now versus what I smoked then, but I figured I would put it to the test. It just so happens that I still possess one of the sample smokes I got way back in May. (more…)
