Camacho Coyolar Puro Perfecto No. 1

I didn't really enjoy this cigar, in as much as I passed the time with it. It starts out with a slap to the face earth and pepper. The spiciness fades and leaves behind that same earthy flavor with hints of coffee, but also a charry quality. It's a strong smoke, and definitely not for the new smokers out there. I found it to be uneventful and the flavor just wasn't there. I also have to jump on the burn bandwagon, as this started to tunnel during the last inch and would not self-correct. The burn was okay prior to that, but the draw was much too loose.

I can't believe the low numbers for this puro. This is my everyday, go to, can always count on stick. I've had copious amounts of these and not one construction problem. And if you're looking for a complex smoke, theres plenty of other higher priced guys out there. The thing I love about these IS the consistency. Plus it's a great quick smoke thats perfect for my work breaks. Guess it comes down to what you're in the mood for. When given time, a big complex smoke is my optimum choice. But when time is an issue or I want a spicy consistent cigar, this fills the bill nicely.

Let me say that the combination of wrapper, binder and filler in this little powerhouse rocks the phat azz.

but

The quality of construction almost negates it all. No doubt a small perfecto isn't easy to make (and they're a real pain to smoke without dropping them). The few from the 5-pack I won were flaky ashed and needed constant relighting to the point where I looked like a crackhead . I do plan to try the other shapes though as the flavor is as good as the Corojo line but even spicier!

This cigar is a perfecto shape, almost exactly like the AFH Short Story. It doesn't taste like one though. Very spicy and all-Honduran. Not overly complex; just a lot of wood and spice. Certainly a cigar for experienced smokers due to its strength.
However this cigar suffers serious burn problems. Mine kept going out, had some wrapper fraying and had a poor loose ash that all point to construction flaws. I suspect the perfecto shape leads to some of these problems. In general this is not a great shape for any cigar; it's just too small to really get a good taste. Like others have said I bet the larger sizes are someone better, but in general this cigar is probably only for those that like that real sharp throat-burning sting (which I like sometimes if I'm in the mood for it)
Worth a try if you like Hondurans and the Camacho Corojo.

Rarely do I downgrade a cigar after the initial trial (usually it's the other way especially after it's gained some humi time), but this is the exception. Two caveats: smoked this the next day after having a silky, complex Edicion de Silva the prior night so this one suffered in comparison. Also smoked the Coyolar on a windier golf course setting. But have had plenty of Camacho Corojos on the golf course that have been more pleasant than this. The flavor didn't develop to any degree, the burn got annoying at times as did the draw, and while it had its moments, they were simply too fleeting. All that was left was lingering effects of spice and a buzz from the sheer strength of this smoke. This isn't the reason we smoke cigars though is it ?

Even though Camacho is my "go-to" cigar, haven't smoked the Coyolar before and having read some of the prior reviews, was a bit skeptical of this coming in. But at 3.00 per stick on C-Bid, how far wrong can you go, right ? Didn't let this sit in the humi long before lighting it up, but no big deal in this case. From the very first, this hits your palate with a ton of spice. More so than any Camacho Corojo. The burn was nice and even, and the draw was very good. About midway thru this shortie, it smoothed out and just was hard to put down. Yes, it is somewhat one-dimensional and lacking in complexity of flavor. But that one dimension is very enjoyable for those who like the full-bodied cigars. Toward the last 1.5 inch, the rich cocoa, strong coffee flavor came through and this turned out to be a nubber. My only regret is the size of this cigar. Will be very curious to see how this will turn out in 6' inch version. A cigar that is well worth returning to again, especially for the price. Camacho comes through again.

Got this for free from my local smoke shop. Read the reviews before I smokeed it. Let it sit in my humi for a few weeks then let it sit out 1 day to dry out to try and avoid the burn problems. Still had a little burn problems but nothing major, just make sure you smoke it slow. The flavor was pretty straight forward strong tobacco, but good. This is my first Camacho and from all the other reviews I need to try the Corojo.

Like some of the other reviews, this one had burn problems. Canoeing badly, finally couldn't even get the last third re-lit. While it burned, it had a pleasant, though simply straightforward, tobacco flavor. Nothing to write home about, and overpriced for the size.

Tremendous burn problems right from the start. Had to re-torch it 3 or 4 times and still couldn't get it to burn straight. My dilemma is when it was smokeable it tuned out to be a tasty little devil. If Camacho can figure out how to roll this size it could be a decent short smoke.

This cigar was not up to being smoked. The wrapper was very veiny and had some oil on it. The construction was loose and soft. The pre lit draw was ok with some spice to it. The foot lit and I took one are two puffs and settled in with what could have been a nice smoke yet I had to re light the cigar 5 times after each time it was lit and I would let it sit for not even 60 sec it was out and had to be re lit. I gave up, way to much work for such a little cigar.

One of the two worst cigars I have ever smoked... burned crooked and tasted like a**!

I love Camacho Corojo, but can't stomach these. The other worst stick I have ever smoked was the Coyolar Toro.

I love this mini-perfecto. I agree with others who say it's not particuarly complex, but it is a Hond. puro, so I was prepared for that. Anyway, what's there is awful satisfying. In about four or five of these, I've never had the burn problems that some of the others talk about.

This was an interesting cigar. It had a nice shape and was about the perfect size for a quick smoke, but the experience was ruined by burn problems. The draw was too loose - like sucking through a straw, and the burn was uneven almost the entire time. (That is, when it would stay lit). I had to make corrections or re-lights five or six times, which is unacceptable for a 4 1/2 inch cigar. Also, the ash kept falling off every inch or so. The flavor was typical Comacho, but with more licorice. It was also very strong - too strong for such an average, one dimensional cigar. My guess is that they made it that way just to attract those who think the only mark of a good cigar is to have their head spinning and stomach turning when they're finished. If that's your thing, than this one is for you, cool guy. Otherwise, don't waste your time. (PS - Even if blockbuster cigars are what you're after, there are much better options. Try a La Flor Dominicana Ligero or Double Ligero. They'll getcha goin' and they have an excellent flavor profile).

I like this cigar. Granted, it is not complex, but all cigars do not have to be complex to enjoy. I found the burn to be even and slow. Less than 5'' make this cigar still be over in under 40 minutes...unless you milk it. Nice cigar and you can often find a deal on Niceash.com

Camacho is always a good buy. This family is full of ideas and I like that. If you don't like what there doing than move on. I am a loyalist and tired of compaints about petty B.S. A must try and all around good stick.

Like the super toro, this thing just doesn't excite me like the Corojo or Havana. But hey, I had to try it again just to make sure I wasn't missing out on something. The flavor is too mild and not much of a punch that Camacho is known for. No burn problems as mentioned by other reviewers, these little things have great construction for a perfecto in my experience.

A small and dark perfecto designed to provide a quick smoke. While it has a decent draw, it has a poor burn leaving behind flaky ash; even after geting past the narrow foot it still burns unevenly and needs relighting. Still, this little cigar is packed with flavor: it's very spicy with an earthy core and hints of licorice, and has a long finish that tingles your tongue. It's smokable now, but additional aging should help round out the flavors.

This cigar started out full bodied, somewhat spicy with a dominant cocoa flavor. I noted some harshness in the first half with occasional flavors of stale cigar smoke. The second half was much smoother but this cigar was overall shipped too young and should have had at least a few more months of aging.
