Measuring 4 inches with a 32 ring gauge, the Camacho Connecticut Machitos comes in boxes of 6 priced at $175.50. This petit corona-sized smoke features an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper over Honduran binder and Dominican-Honduran filler tobaccos, delivering a medium-strength experience perfect for quick smoking sessions.
First Third: Opens with roasted almonds and cream notes, accompanied by faint grassiness. The draw feels slightly snug but produces adequate smoke output.
Middle Third: Develops honey-glazed bread flavors with cashew undertones. Mineral notes emerge alongside cedar woodiness, though the body remains medium-light.
Final Third: Transitions to salted caramel and wheat crackers. I detected a subtle bitter chocolate finish that required purging at the 12-minute mark to maintain flavor clarity.
The Ecuadorian wrapper from Los Ríos valley contributes delicate sweetness, while Honduran Jamastran valley tobaccos provide the foundation. Nicaraguan Jalapa leaf in the filler adds subtle pepper spice, balanced by Dominican Piloto's baked grain characteristics.
