Camacho Connecticut Cigars

Just as every pitch-black cigar isn't the head-knocker you might expect, the Camacho Connecticut proves that every shade-wrapped stogie is not just some meek and mild stick suitable only for after breakfast or your non-cigar smoking friends. Instead, the cigar fits perfectly into the Camacho portfolio with big, bold flavors while at the same time toning down some of the legendary strength for which the brand is known. To pull off this feat, the cigar's filler is rolled from a perfectly blended and robust mix of Dominican Aleman Ligero and proprietary Honduran Generoso tobaccos punched up with a spicy Corojo binder before being tempered with the cool, creamy Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper. The Camacho Connecticut blend has earned multiple 90 ratings by Cigar Aficionado. Buttery and smooth from the outset, the smoke brings into harmony the tastes of hearty oak and mild cream. The midway point adds some crisp citrus and sweet cedar, the strength increasing to just enough above medium to further increase the enjoyment. As the cigar approaches the nub, some nuts and spice become evident for a truly lip-smacking finish. With the Camacho brand undergoing a renovation, some of their blends are being sent out to pasture after many years of faithful service, while others are being redesigned; but the sturdy Camacho Connecticut is here to stay as is.
