Camacho Havana Monarca Cigar Review @ CigarJack.net

Thursday, April 3rd, 2008

Description: I just recently had a chance to try a Camacho Havana for the first time. My local shops never carried them and after getting a couple from a friend I was on a mission to hunt down a box.

A Honduran Puro, and contains Corojo Filler and Binder like many of Camacho’s cigars. The Criollo wrapper mellows this cigar out a bit leaving just short of full bodied.

Each one I’ve smoked has been well constructed. They tend to run a bit softer than most cigars and typically have an easy draw. The wrapper doesn’t have any noticeably large veins. I picked up a hint of leather on the pre-light draw check. (more…)

Camacho 10th Anniversary Torpedo @ StogieGuys.com

Monday, March 24th, 2008

Each Saturday and Sunday we’ll post a Quick Smoke: not quite a full review, just our brief take on a single cigar. The following is a Guest Quick Smoke, submitted by a StogieGuys.com reader. If you’d like to submit your own for publication, please contact us.

Previewed at the 2007 RTDA Convention and released this month, the Camacho 10th Anniversary held the promise of continuing the brand’s revitalization – and it delivers. This line is characterized by all the flavor and complexity of the Corojo Diploma line, but delivered in a medium-bodied blend that is much more approachable for the average smoker. Most interesting is the Torpedo (6.125″ x 54). This beautiful box-pressed vitolla has a great balance in filler vs. wrapper contribution. Its thin wrapper pays off in aroma and in the consistency of the burn. One of the few cigars on the market well worth the $12.25 price tag.

Verdict = Buy

Camacho Diploma Cigar Review @ CigarJack.net

Another entry from Dale Roush, co-host of the Dogwatch Social Club Podcast. You still have time to enter.

Marque - Camacho

Frontmark - Diploma


Vitola - Figurado 11/18

I confess right from the start that I love this cigar and have smoked quite a few over the past few months. I had only smoked a couple prior to the new packaging Camacho introduced in mid 2007, and liked those as well, but when I discovered the 11/18 size, the Diploma found a permanent home in my humidor.

The cigar is very well constructed. This size must be a little more difficult to roll, but I’ve yet to get one that did not have an outstanding draw. The cap is nicely applied, the band is beautiful and the Authentic Corojo wrapper is elegant. Simply no other word comes to mind. Clipping the cap on this cigar almost seems sinful. (more…)

Camacho Corojo Maduro Torpedo Review @ Brian’s Random Thoughts

Friday, March 7th, 2008

I reviewed this week for the Stogie Review, the cigar for this review has a tie in to Dogwatch Cigar Radio. Walt and I were originally scheduled to appear on the show about three shows ago at this point. The show’s featured cigar was the Camacho Corojo Maduro, which I’d never tried. A little homework seemed in order, so I picked up a handful of them the week of the recording.

Well, it was sort of like studying for a test in college only to have the professor not show the day of the exam. Due to last minute scheduling issues beyond anyone’s control, our appearance on the show rescheduled for the next week. And a different week means a different cigar. So what do I do with all these smoking Camacho Corojo Maduro Torpedo notes? Well, it was clear. I need to give it a review. So here goes. (more…)

Camacho 10th Anniversary Robusto Preview @ Tiny Tim’s Cigar World

Thursday, March 6th, 2008

My friends at Camacho and Social Cigar sent me one of the new Camacho 10th Anniversary robusto’s to try and comment on. I decided to have it last night.

Initially the flavor was somewhat leathery. It quickly changed to an incredibly spicey cigar. The spice is central to this cigar. You can feel it on the back of your throat and on your tongue. After an inch the flavor changed from leather and spice to toasted caramel and spice. (more…)
