Understood as being the cigar that’s “as close to Cuba as you can get,” Camacho enjoys a long and illustrious tradition of pleasing cigar enthusiasts who value well-constructed, impeccable flavored blends of tobacco. Grown by the Eiroa family in the lush and fertile soils of Honduras in a climate similar to the legendary Vuelta Abajo region of Cuba, Camacho cigars live up to the hype.
The medium-bodied Camacho Criollo starts with a Honduran grown, fourth priming wrapper for a bold and peppery taste. The filler is comprised of Dominican long-filler for a sweetness that’s undeniable. This complex, mid intensity cigar is blended to perfection, and the Jamastran Valley grown Criollo leaf adds just the right amount of spice to the sweetness. Camacho Criollo is scaled back in strength, but not in flavor, for a high quality blend that’s deliciously balanced and not overly powerful. In other words, it’s just right.
I was trying to recapture a criollo I had years ago. This ain't it. Grassy. And poorly constructed.

Good cigar, bad QA
Jun 22, 2018
It was a very light cigar, but I still found myself really enjoying the flavor profile. I've usually been disappointed with the discrepancy between advertising vs. actual in a cigar's flavor profile. This was almost EXACTLY as advertised. Slightly peppery, a "sweet" tobacco taste (being sweet for a savory sort of profile, of course...). I do wish the flavor was a bit heavier, and I found the smoke to be particularly "sticky" (stuck on my clothes and mouth for many hours). My biggest issue is with the construction (and I think QA in general). There was a literal bend in one of the cigars in my 4 pack. Another one had a lot of knots in the middle. One of them was rolled very well. The final one was loose and falling apart. My friend bought a five pack and had similar issues with construction and consistency. At this price point, that's not something I can easily stomach.
Three stars as I find the flavor and profile of the cigar very good, I'm ecstatic that the advertising was honest, but I think someone needs to check on the QA department. Regardless, I'd still order again.

This cigar is is a great smoke, creamy smooth with a sweet finish. It has become one of my all time favorites in Churchill size. This is a first cigar of the day that will not disappoint.
