Review Notes:
I smoked one of these for the first time at Fuego, Sosa's Cigar bar in Orlando. I am a Camacho fan but this stick was great, plenty of flavor with pepper upfront, the construction was great and it really made my night out. It didn't seem to loose it's strength and had hints of chocolate/coffee on the back end. Highly recommend this one from the Camacho Family. The ohly regreat I had was that I paid $12.00 a stick, chalk it up to vacation expense.

Review Notes:
This is a fairly full bodied cigar with a great deal of spice but quite smooth. The first one I smoked a while back was good but time in the humidor has made the flavors meld some…the rest comfortably helped the cigar. I decided to try this one after sampling a VS Corojo that just wasn’t as good. If in a hurry you may want to put this cigar on hold for a while. It needs a break between puffs (so do you) to really bring out the strong sweet coffee flavors. As with a good cup of coffee, you may also want to sit down. Appearance was good with the construction, ash and aroma very nice. I thought the draw was little to firm but after an inch or so it started to mellow out. Lots of smoke! This is an easy cigar to recommend.

Review Notes:
When I first tried this cigar, it blew my tastebuds out of my mouth. Very strong cigar, and w/o taste buds, how could I tell if it was really all that good? After good long spell in the humidor, I've found that this cigar lost some power, but it gained smoothness and the nutty flavors that were masked before, came through. With time, these really become a super cigar. I wonder what another year in the humi will do?

Review Notes:
First, go eat a big sushi lunch, then go sit on deck and light this up. Can't be beat! 1/2 hour after it was done I am still buzzed. Coffee, spice and cedar flavors highlight the beginning, BIG whammy follows, all right from the first inch. About 1/2 way in flavors fade a bit. This is not a nubber, but close. Aroma and draw are excellent but I did need to relight a couple of times.

Review Notes:
I would have to say this is probably Camacho's best cigar; it's certainly better than the regular corojo line and some of their other stuff. The cigar has a real dark look and bouquet to it(very similar to the 11/18 as well). Starts off extremely strong with a peppery and earthy taste. Gives a serious buzz to even the experienced smoker. It's similar to the 11/18 but the taste is stronger.
However the flavor really starts to fade by the halfway point, which is not unusual for strong cigars, but you're pretty much left with a sort of mild musty taste (in other words, it starts to taste like the regular corojo line).
The construction is OK but suffers tunneling much like other Camachos. Probably a lot of careful aging at slightly lower than 70% humidity would help this problem I suspect.
All in all this is a great, strong cigar but it loses it punch too fast to me. If it kept its initial flavor profile the whole way down, this would be one of the best cigasr ever.
