STORAGE CONDITIONS: These smokes have been stored in their original box inside a cabinet humidor set at 69%RH. I moved them from my Aristocrat cabinet humidor, which also had an RH% set at 69%. I am always moving boxes around my three cabinets, for one reason or another. The temperature these past three months has ranged between 66-72 degrees F.

This is the third in a series of reviews on this special edition stick from Camacho Cigars.

This week’s edition of Cigar Links focuses on the Camacho Corojo Diploma. I reviewed the Camacho Diploma Natural back in August 2007. The tobacco in the Diploma is from the Fifth Priming.
