Camacho Connecticut Machitos Cigar - 1 Single

Date Added: Saturday 18 July, 2020 by Mohammed

1. Appearance & Construction.

The cigar looked a little rough also felt rough and slightly bumpy in areas. Had good weight to it considering its a small cigar. Label is bold, vibrant, and in your face.

10 points.

2. Flavor & Aroma.

From the get go there is a spicy smell to the cigar. You can tell straight away this is going to be a slightly strong cigar. The flavor and aroma is consistent from the pre-light and during the course of the smoke. Slight sweetness with a kick of spice. Big bold in your face flavours that matches the label. The flavor was consistent throughout all 3rds of the cigar. Surprisingly the final 3rd did not get bitter and I could smoke right to the nib.

25 points.

3. Smoking Characteristics.

From the outset everything came with ease for this cigar. From cutting to lighting. The burn was pretty even, and at halfway through the 1st 3rd it did start canoeing but rolling it around and smoking it sorted it out did not need to be touched up with a lighter. Ash was white and easy to roll off. The draw was perfect, effortless. Makes me really tempted to try its bigger brother.

20 points.

4. Overall experience.

Was a sheer pleasure to smoke this cigar. Easy to cut and light. At first it did taste a bit too spicy for me, but halfway through the 1st 3rd I did get used to the flavor and it did start to mellow out and balance. Slight sweetness with a spicy kick on the background. The burn was almost perfect, and surprisingly for a spicy cigar the smoke felt cool all throughout the cigar. Got exactly 17 - 18 mins worth of smoking enjoyment out of it so the advertised 20 mins was bang on. For a price of just over £5 you cant go wrong with this. I will try it again but will probably go for the bigger brother.
