Camacho Triple Maduro Robusto

This thing is strong enought to power a small city. I don't know how anyone smokes the longer versions. Its got a very rich, luxurious leathery flavor with some hints of sweetness. Its sneaky strong, one minute your enjoying a great smoke, the next your picking up pieces of your skull. I wish they weren't so expensive. The dark wrappers look good, but are a little rough and very toothy. I've had 7-8 of them, they always burn well. The Camacho's of today are far superior to 5 ys ago.

I bought this today at my B&M and lit it up for a little lunch time B&M pow-wow with the boys. This thing had kind of a nice, dark, rustic look to it, so I figured I'd offer it up to the fire gods. While the draw was even, and construction was good, the flavor just left something to be desired, for me. Lots of peppery notes to it, but that was about it. Not a bad smoke for $5, but at $10 you can do better.

This came from a sample pack and I love the flavors. The construction lacked tightness and made the draw to easy so it burnt hot and fast. For the money it made it a poor choice, but yea the flavor was great.

This smoke appearance was very nice. The ash was of salt and pepper. The taste was medium to full with lots of earth and hints of spice and vanilla on the finish. A very nice smoke yet could use some age to bring out the flavor more. The burn did give me some trouble as it had a soft spot. All in all a nice smoke. A little high on the price side.

This was a sad day for me when I smoked this. The stick looked beautiful to me. A dark, oily wrapper seemed to beg me to smoke this. The price I paid, $14, also raised my expectations. When I lit up though, I was unimpressed. This was not a bad cigar, but it was completely unremarkable. I am a huge fan of camacho and wanted to be blown away, the 2006 liberty was more than worth this price, but this was nothing special. If it were half this price I would smoke these regularly, but as it is, these are not worth the hype

It's a beautiful cigar, albeit the wrapper is a little on the rustic side - a little bumpy and not all that "smooth" like you would have in something like a Davidoff. The wrapper is quite dark, with a sort of flat cast to it - not glossy at all. I had a bugger of a time getting that stupid end cap off the foot, eventually using my teeth to pull the frickin' thing off. After a few minutes, I cut the cap and lit that baby up. The draw on it was pretty good, and the pre-light flavor was your Average Joe maduro.

Smoking it, however, was another matter.

This was one of the truly unique maduros I've ever smoked. There was a small amount of sweetness, but not much at all. I wouldn't call the flavor chocolately, but if there were characteristics of chocolate it ran along the lines of the unsweetened kind. No bitterness existed, so it wasn't anything along the lines of having coffee notes. There was a noticeable cedary / woodsy element, and maybe a little hint of nutmeg here or there. But to be honest, I really couldn't put a finger on the flavor of the cigar...maybe anise? To be honest, I thought it was pretty good flavor-wise. Definately different.

This is not a strong cigar by any stretch. The aroma of the smoke is quite strong, cedary, and spicy - almost the antithesis of the flavor. It has a LONG finish to it, and not wholly unpleasant either. The ash was drab, being a sooty sort of gray, but it held on for more than an inch. Altogether the cigar was really well constructed, and burned very, very slow. Near the nub it was still drawing cool.

This is not a flavor-changer, so don't expect surprises when smoking it. I didn't get a buzz, however, I did have a slightly upset stomach when I left (I didn't eat before I had the cigar). I'd definitely say you should have this after a decent meal.

There were few downsides to this cigar. Ok, so the cigar itself didn't have a spectacular luster and appearance - no biggie in my book. Plus these new frickin' bands that Camacho is putting on their cigars, while nice to look at, are a genuine pain in the a** to remove. Outside of that, I didn't have any complaints about the experience.

At the price they're going for, I'm not going to run out and buy a box real soon. However, I thought the cigar was excellent overall.

Burn was perfect, flavor of coffee and general tobacco flavor. Very powerful cigar, high nicotine content for sure, but very one dimensional, maybe time will give it more.

A pricey smoke. It was decent with strong coffee and a dry chocolate taste. The burn was ok, a few touch-ups and re-lights. I wouldn't rate this as a great Camacho smoke for the price. It was an ok $11 smoke. Let them age a while and then we'll see.....
