Camacho Corojo Figurado

Not as good as the Corojo Havana version. Spicier than Havanna version and milder. Better ash color than havanna version. Beautiful wrapper, no Cello.

12/20/08 two years from my last review this cigar is almost perfect. Great burn. flavor. looks and value.

This one was a great find. Had a Diamond Crown Maximus after this one, but this one packed similar flavor and punch for much less. A little uneven burn is my only minor issue.

Refined with a nice strength profile. The flavor could be more complex. I found it very nutty with some hints of oak. It burns well and usually looks pretty good.

Smoked this one from my stash..Smelled great I knew this would be good..But it ended up being great.3/4 the way through I had flavors and the desired spiciness and plenty of flavor..All of a sudden I had to sit down.This one surprised me . After throwing away the wrapper I picked it up to research what i just smoked! a great cigar from beginning to end I had no burn problems and realized I had just smoked a powerhouse! And will do again..i think I purchased this in a sampler pack..Boy what a sample!!

Great flavor, even burn, and if your not paying attention and did this one on an empty stomach, you may want to take a seat. I like it and should mention that others in it's family have not impressed me as much as this one has.

This will be a true classic with 2 years aging. It won't be easy. The only thing holding this smoke back is the burn. It requires the occasional torching.

Just smoked this one after a Diamond Crown Maximus and will end up giving the Camacho a better rating. Admittedly, am partial to the full bodied powerhouses, but this particular one just delivers from the start and keeps coming right down to the nub. My only gripe was that burn was uneven on this one and the construction seemed a little loose at times, especially constrasted to the DCM. But these issues pale in comparison to the smooth, constant bombardment your taste buds get off this baby.

Right off the bat I knew this was going to be a potent smoke, like chronic compared to stress in marijuana terms. It stayed consistent towards the end, building intense flavors during the last 3rd. Full bodied, lots of earthiness, and non-spicy. A rare assortment of attributes indeed. Definitely would recommend.

I'm with Scotty on this one-- a poor man's Cuban is right. It's not as smooth as say, a Partagas Serie D, but the taste of a young PSD4 is fairly similar to this figurado. It lacks the peppery finale, but the aroma is strikingly similar. A good draw, a fairly even burn, and overall strength sells this one at a bargain price. A powerful earthy smoke.

good construction, burned well and a cuban style taste; sweet and nutty, with satisfying nicotine content. Recommended!

For $4.50 a solid poor man's Cuban regarding the overall flavor profile. Some minor construction problems. Reviewers Ashman, ranci, and Gaucho Grande pretty much nail this. I'll just shut up and light up.

The H. Upmann Magnum 46 Habano I smoked last night was a very good cigar. The reason I'm writing this review is to say Cubans are good but overrated. Aside from a less even burn I would again put this smoke up against the few Cubans I've had and it only costs $4.00. Take that Castro!

this is a good cigar for those in betweens, you know don't want to smoke those last Isoms or your opus, Pam's or high rent smokes, price is right and has complexity, smoothness and a good kick of nic. good go to cigar.

A gorgeous mass of topedo. Big. Imposing. They smell great. I don't know why-but this to me is the strongest tasting vitola of the line. After an hour of nearly perfect burn (emphasis on nearly), I came to the conclusion that it is an excellent cigar that can only be enjoyed in moderation- The dizzyness lasted a good 20 minutes after I was done.

The head split about half an inch upon cutting and I was using a brand new Xikar. Great earthy nose and pre-light taste. The initial drag filled my palate with pepper and full Honduran earth. Mellowed a bit, then around an inch in and began to show complexity and gain strength. Smooth power and bountiful taste make you want to smoke it fast, but take your time. Enjoy the experience and the buzz. As long as I can buy 4 or 5 of these for the price of a Cuban Castro can keep them.

If you like Honduran cigars I would say these are good. I bought some only because of the reviews. The have a real strong Honduran smell when you first smell them, that grass/hay smell. The draw is great, they are woody, spice, and grassy taste. But not over powering. I much prefer the classic Dominican smell and taste so I may be biased against them. I do like punch cigars so I am not totally against Honduran cigars. With so many other brands out there I would not buy these again, unless they do something about the initial smell.

Bought a box of these from Holts. Beautiful construction, awesome wrappers. Bold and complex, spicey and smooth flavors abound

I consider myself a good listener and reviewed each of the comments and scores over the past several years. I cannot resign myself to the possibility that there are so amny fair Camacho mixed in with nera-great ones. This stick is near-great with only a few subtle flaws (i.e. inconsistent draw, slightly uneven burn) The aroma, flavor, construction, and overall smoking experirence of this big stub keeps it a full "9" in my book. It compares very favorably with the Cubans and I have made it my go-to. Admit it nay-sayers, your negative judgements are flawed.

I saw a review onthis cigar here and decided to get a box. Well made good looking cigar. Not for the faint of heart a full bodied smoke with lots of flavor and an excellent draw.

nice wrapper, sturdy cap, easy draw, and smooth taste initally. Had a bad end, though, but only in the last 1/4 which may have been due to the marked uneven burn.

I like the havana line better. The cigar was a bit hostile to the palate. A full bodied smoke.

This is a cigar I keep going back to. The flavor is full, the aroma outstanding, the burn even, and the finish is right on the money. I'll continue to buy this stick for any occasion. Highly Recommend!

It was a sprinter running a marathon. Started off great, kind of died off in the middle. Last half had its moments but it was too much of a struggle. Nice meium flavor, great draw. Like others more in this price range.

Well made cigar, nothing extraordinary. I would smoke these at the right price.

Nice looking cigar! Not a bad price for this smoke. I thought it was better at the beginning than it was in the middle. It did go out twice past the mid way point. It did draw well and the flavor was a little strong (after the half way point). I would share this smoke with friends but would not buy more than a few sticks.

A Diamond in the rough. A rich powerful smoke, best enoyed after a full meal. Ages very well, and not for the weak or mild smoker.
Enjoy!

Tried it once, and instantly became one of my favorites. Has a smoked, wood aroma with an almost walnut taste. Beautiful wrapper.

This may be the first box of cigars from outside of Cuba that I have opened up and marveled at the beauty and consistency. I couldn't wait to spark one up. They packed the punch they promised, but not sure if it is my cup of tea. Burned a little off, but self corrected. I have a hunch these may get better with time.

This one is about as good as the Havana, but with a different flavor. Cannot be distinguished from a cuban cigar other than by its construction and ring size.

Buy cases just to enjoy the odd one that makes my face numb. Always have some on hand.

My #2 behind Padron exclusivo Maduro. Full of taste nice finish perfect burn.

somewhat dissapointed. starts off strong but turns mild/medium. burn could be better, needs a couple touch-ups. good favor but very one dimensional. heavy aftertaste stays with you.

Dark tan Honduran Corojo wrapper stretched around this torpedo. Sloppy workmanship and a tear in the wrapper mar the looks. The wrapper seems thin, like the CAO cameroon. Few prominent veins. Easy light. Lots of smoke.

The taste is good from the s
