Camacho Triple Maduro 11/18

I've smoked plenty of these in the past, and have not cared for them until today. I speculate that my palate for those prior times was tainted, this time however my palate was relatively fresh after having just smoked a 2006 Liberty. I found this stick to be very earthy in it's over all nature. It initially started off and lasted for the first third of the cigar with a heavy mineral taste, not unbearable though. There were also a few hints of cedar, and ground coffee. The middle and final thirds were practically the same though, in that they lost the mineral taste, and picked up a sweet hazelnut flavor in tandem witha hint of hickory, while still retaining the cedar and ground coffee flavors from the first third. I'd place this as a medium-full flavored cigar, with a heavy presence of nicotine, though I never get buzzed. I got about an hour and a half worth of smoking time in from this stick. The ash was like concrete, and possessed a pepper gray color, the construction was seamless, though there were a few bulges that were present to the touch which hinted towards the presence of underlying veins. It had an impeccable draw throughout the hour and a half smoke. This particular stick came from my Signature Blends Travel Case.

standard camacho construction- i hope most people know what i mean-this thing was like smoking 5 maduro cigars at once- it was frickin sweet. maduro flavor, of course, has never been so evident. perfect combination of sweetness and spice. great burn, was not harsh even to the nub- was pricey, but this is needs to be smoked at least once by any maduro lover. strong, but smooth, make sure you get a good meal in you before, and enough time after to just relax (or nap haha) i would recommend to anyone.

This is a very full bodied stick, with a rollercoaster of flavors! Pepper, Coco, Leather to mention a few.
A little pricey but worth it!
Great with a good Bourbon!

I had been wanting to get my hands on one and finally my local cigar store had some in the humidor. Sat down to smoke it and was a little surprised at the wrapper. I guess I expected something a little more aesthetically appealing. It looked a little on the rough side to me. Lighting it was easy and it burned well. The first inch was a little peppery for me, but then it smoothed out to a nice smoke. Smoked like a medium to med-full strength. However, I had been sitting for 45 minutes enjoying the smoke, when I decided to get up and get some coffee...big mistake...i had an empty stomach and the darn thing snuck up on me. I was BUZZING!!! So much so that I had to sit for almost another hour before I felt I could drive. Note to self: eat a light meal before smoking this one. Overall, I thought it could use a smoother wrapper. A cigar that costs this much ought to look like a million bucks...or at least measure up to teh money you dished out for it. It smoked well. Flavors change 2-3 times during the smoke. I would not stock my personal humidor with it, but would buy a single every now and then just to smoke something different.
