Product Introduction

Camacho is a popular Honduran cigar brand. Founded in 1961 by Simon Camacho, it was acquired by the Eiroa family in 1995 and became part of the Oettinger Davidoff Group in 2008. Some blends were discontinued or re - named after a rebranding/reblending process.

Appearance and Aroma

The Camacho Havana Figurado has a wrapper with a dark chocolate hue and a well - rolled cap. The band is yellow and gold. It has a sweet smell, and the cold draw has a mellow sweetness and a touch of spice.

Taste Profile

• First third: It has a taste of honey and oak. The draw is perfect with appropriate resistance, and each puff is heavy with thin white smoke, keeping the palate moist.
• Second third: There are small signs of white pepper and a bready, dough - like sweetness. The smoke becomes harsher and full - bodied.
• Finish: The draw becomes hot, and the tastes become stale and dry on the palate.

Other Details

The cigar's burn is wavy, and the ash is a layered light gray. It's hand - made, with an origin, wrapper, filler, and binder all from Honduras, in a figurado format, and costs $7 each. It used to come in boxes of 25, each in a cellophane sleeve.
