We ended Part I of the interview where we were talking about a reddish Colorado wrapper Camacho is trying to develop for a new cigar, and the commercialization of new products…

So you have this beautiful Colorado wrapper.

The band you’re going to put on that Colorado wrapper has to match the wrapper. It’s not just the flavor  …  remember, we want to give people a full experience. A guy who’s going to spend $5, $6, $7, $8, $10 to $15 a cigar, whatever he pays for the cigars, they should get what they pay for. You’ve got to attract every single sense.

This is without a doubt one of the finest cigars we have ever had the privilege of smoking. The smooth Pre-Embargo filler is complemented nicely by the complex Corojo wrapper.
