Let's kick things off with this bold Dominican-made torpedo. The Camacho Broadleaf Toro (6"x50) punches at $8.78 per stick in 20-count boxes, showing its workhorse mentality. Built with Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper and Honduran binder, this medium-strength cigar opens with earthy vibes before launching pepper bombs. I'd say it's perfect for guys who want character without babysitting the ash.
Cold draw smells like damp forest floor. Initial smoke brings black pepper and semi-sweet chocolate. Burn line holds razor-straight with oily wrapper sheen. Retrohale stings the nostrils good - this ain't no starter cigar.
Leather and walnut notes emerge with espresso undertones. Smoke output doubles - decent cloud production here. The Nicaraguan filler starts flexing with white pepper tingle on the tongue. Ash holds tight for 1.5 inches before dropping.
Dark cocoa bitterness creeps in during last third. Strength ramps to medium-full territory. Watch for tar buildup past the band - purge every few puffs. Ends with charred meat smokiness that lingers like last call at a BBQ joint.
The chocolate-brown wrapper feels slightly toothy with minimal veins. Triple cap holds up well through punching. Burn required two touch-ups in humid Florida weather. Box date showed 18 months age - fresh batches might need more rest.
