Camacho Ecuador Robusto Tubed Cigar - Pack of 4

Good cigar .

From the start, I was super excited for this cigar. The binder looks cool, just like all Camacho’s. The tube looks eye catching, it really deserves some respect. The condition was a bit poor in my opinion. A bit veiny and not to the standards of Camacho usually bring to the table, which shocked me a smidge. I gave this a punch cut. The lighting was fine, the first few puffs went well. The flavour was usual but lovely. A real earthy spice I’ve never experienced before. A real strong and sporting cigar that feels good in the hand. The cap was weak though and split when cut, which broke my heart, especially for the price. The burn was also very uneven, but I always power on. Regardless of these faults, the flavours stayed relatively simple but very powerful in flavour. Strong earth, heavy spice and sense of cedar and orange, which I’m not sure where that came from. It’s a nice cigar if you get a well made one, perhaps I’m unlucky. Does this hold a candle to the Corojo? Or the Connecticut? I’m my opinion, no. But on its own merits, it stands out as a good cigar well worth a try, but I doubt I’ll keep a stash of these in my Humidor. But the experience for a new Camacho brand that’s so hard to find in The UK was well worth the smoke.
