Camacho Special Edition 11/18 Review

[pathman]

I remember the days when I thought Camacho cigars were ok little junky sticks that were barely worth buying. I picked up this cigar a few weeks ago on a lark and am almost down to the nub as I write this. Let me first say, the packaging and banding on this cigar is truly spectacular, looks like it should be a $20+ cigar. The wrapper is deep,dark and slightly oily with a nice vein. The pre-light draw was a littly airy and the smell was nothing to write home about. I took my time on the light with my trusty Davidoff soft flame and it took the fire just perfect. The first few draws were way spicy and I thought it was just a ligero loaded spice bomb. At about the one inch mark this thing got good, I mean real good, lots of well fermented tobacco and old musty cedar aromas. The flavor remained spicy but without all the bite and bitter of the first few draws. The burn remained near perfect with a nice looking salt and pepper ash that flaked off perfectely. I paired this with a nice glass of 22 yr old Pappy Van Winkle with my favorite mixer, two cubes of ice. A box of these will be in the mail to my house in the a.m.
