Camacho negro
 

This dark Honduran cigar with its 50 ring and 125mm length, dark oily wrapper with some small veins is box pressed and has a nice simple band. The predraw is fine and the cigar has a salty, maybe even a briny aroma.

The cigar produces a full spicy tobacco and herb flavor but soon I could taste some leather while the herbs fade away. The leather gains some strength without becoming overpowering. The feel of the flavor is a bit dry.

Halfway some herby chocolate comes to the palate, soon to be replaced by the leather & herbs & spices again. Close to the turning point the aroma becomes a bit creamy.

The smoke is quite full, could have been a bit thicker though. The ash was pretty firm.

Would I buy this cigar again? Yes, I was quite impressed by it

Thanks for the review.

Nice review. I luckily still have about two boxes of these left. :ss

Re: Camacho negro
 

JR (or at least I think it was JR) ran a fantastic special on these about 9 mos ago -- about $40 a box, as I recall. Was that your source?

Re: Camacho negro
 

For one box. :( I think it was $50. Wish I woulda bought more, my other boxes were considerably more expensive. Great smoke though.

Re: Camacho negro
 

Wow...just lit one of these up.
Very impressed so far. Can't believe these were at 40/box at one time. I would have bought a couple fo sho. Def. recommend for those who like a bit a body to their sticks.

Re: Camacho negro
 

nice review, sounds like a winner:ss

I regret not pulling the trigger on that deal. Haven't seen them since. Have they been discontinued?
