Camacho Havana Nacionales

I rarely nub cigars anymore but i found myself trying to smoke a half-inch stub without even noticing at first. Camacho is my current cigar maker of choice and the havana is VERY Camacho-like in its flavor profile. Peppery with a bit of sweetness along with some toasted nut-like flavors. The Criollo wrapper is distinctive while the fioller is very similar to a well aged Baccarat (another Camacho product I love). Matter of fact, think of these as a full-bodied Baccarat minus the sweet cap. Delicious.

The only downside here is the price. It is a very good cigar but at over 100 bucks on average its a little much. Best purchased at auction.

Good body, full. Rich, complex flavor. Nice wrapper. Wrapper looks good and tastes good even before lighting. They are wrapped pretty loose. Some burn unevenly. Most burn okay. Overall, a damn good smoke for the money.

The first sample from the box made me disappointed. The beautiful surface (nice wrapper and band) didn't live up to the expectations I had. A grassy taste althrough the cigar darkened the experience. But just after a few months something happened, the grassiness disappeared and a more mature taste developed. Efter nine months it burns perfectly, holds the ash great and have a fine, albeit original, taste and is a pleasure to smoke. So buy a box and let them rest for close to a year, then you have a fine, reliable everyday cigar with a great price-performance ratio.

Smoked a box of these, some were a bit hot and some were just a great smoke, flavors were mostly toasty, but for the price a good cigar. for a every day smoke. Let them sit a while.

This is a FULL bodied smoke. Cedary, strong, and wow what a finish. I had to down a bottle of water when I finally burned my finger and put it out! At less than $2 a great value. I bought a box from Bonita Smoke Shop for $38.75. Can't be beat.

I surprised that the corona was actually less instense in flavor than the smallest vitola in this line, which was a bit more complex. However, this had its moments. Was that Smoked Ham I tasted for a minute there? ( My value rating is a little high since I was lucky enough to buy these on special). I was watching fireworks explode over the Connecticut River for the New Year as I smoked this, and this spicy smoke was in perfect harmony with the experience.

Bought a sampler pack to try something different and a little more economical than my usual smokes.The first 5 minutes got me nervous ,a bit harsh. Then I let it sit for a minute and I could swear I picked up a different cigar smooth and medium to full-bodied . I agree it was a bit one dimensional ,but a nice smoke and the best 2 buck's I spent in a while.

Nice appearance and construction, with light-brown-redish wrapper in very good condition. The wrapper had notes of "sweet oak", which came alive (and how!) when the cigar was lit. The very first puff was full of flavor and without any bitterness in the aftertaste; it remained like that for 3/4 of the cigar, getting a little hot towards the end and losing some of its bold flavor. The burn was correct and the draw just right. This was a most pleasant surprise, given the price and size of the cigar. Do try one (or an entire box) if you like a spicy, sweet, non-learthery flavor - very different from a maduro, yet thoroughly flavorful and enjoyable. I am glad I got a 7-cigar sampler box from Camacho Havana. Won't be the last one.

A medium to full bodied cigar that seem to be basic in flavor. Needs more complexity in taste, but a good smoke nonetheless.

I didn't expect much from this cigar and was left with a great impression. I surprisingly strong cigar although a little one dimensional. Nice finish.

This cigar had a full body from the start and good flavor without harshness. I would rank it with smokes that are much more expensive. I really enjoyed it. It's on my list to try again.
