Camacho 1962 Perfecto

Before smoking this cigar I read the 7 other reviews on here. Like a few of the other reviewers mentioned, this cigar smokes HOT. I mean, wow, I have not had a cigar burn this hot before- really seemed to ruin the cigar. While the burn and taste are not that great, the appearance is PERFECT. Great looking cigar. I would also say that instead of a "band" this cigar as a beatiful "shield". About half of the outside of the cigar is covered by the top and bottom "shield".

Well after 4 of these I just don't get it nor do I really care for it. It has a flavor there just like the rest do that I just dont like. THe roll was great and the burn great. This little sucker is well made and smokes good for a little cigar. I just could't get past the burnt taste. This one is better than the rest in the line though.

This was a pleasant surprise for me. I have been on a camacho kick as of late, but was not expecting too much as I believe this is an internet-only cigar. This was a great smoke. Tons of flavor from the first draw, I tasted spice and toast, but mostly a pleasant nuttiness. While this was quite a bit more complex than some other camachos I have tried, the coyolar especially, it did not have that camacho kick which I love. This is solidly a medium bodied smoke. I had mixed feelings on the construction. The ash was beautiful. I actually did not ash at all until I put the cigar down for good; I should have taken a picture. On the other hand, there was too much glue on the band and this caused slight flaking of the wrapper. There was a close to perfect draw. This did have the characteristic to heat up if smoked too quickly, as most smaller sticks will do, so I slowed down a bit and had no more problems.

I would recommend this to most anyone. They can be found for quite a bit under MSRP on cbid so that is where I will be checking the next time I want to pick up a box.

This is the perfect stick for a 30 drive home.
Toasty, milder than most Camachos. I always end up numbing the Bad Little Boy!

Spent a decent amount of money for this cigar and was looking forward to it. Wrapper looked dark and blemish free, it cut well and the draw on it was adequate. However, it had a burnt taste throughout, burnt cocoa, then burnt coffee and then just burnt. Smoked it as slow as I could but it kept heating up to fast, and relighting it did not help the burnt taste if I neglected it too long. Might try and get a larger size if the price is right and give it some humi time, but they may be a little too pricey at the moment to bother.

A slightly rough in appearance yet had lots of oil and no soft spots. The foot lit even and held a long salt and pepper ash. The notes were on the medium to full and had wood and cocoa on the finish just a lovely smoke.

I started with the corona and now the perfecto. Camacho is 2 for 2 in 1962. Not quite as strong as their brethren these are a little more tasty. Good flavorful med-full cigar. I normally don't choose short smokes but I'm going to have a Don Pepin Invictos robusto after this. Football, adult beverages and good cigars. life is truly good.

I was anxious to try this new blend from Camacho. I should let readers know that I'm a little biased, and would probably smoke a tree branch if it had a Camacho band on it. Nonetheless, this was a very, very good cigar. It has the spice of their regular corojo line, but with more complexity. Notes of nuts and chocolate could be detected by my usually dense palate. The wrap is a bit loose, so I had to slow down my smoking pace to avoid overheating this cigar. And, typical of Camachos, there was too much glue on the band which must be removed halfway into the smoke due to the band/cigar size ratio. This size represents a short smoke - 30- 40 minutes, but there is no wait for the flavor. I recommend this one, but keep in mind I've only smoked one so far.
