Camacho Corojo Machitos Cigar - 1 Single
by Patrick
It was... An experience... Not going to lie, I was not prepared for this! My first retro hale and I was pinching the bridge of my nose and wincing as though IÂ’d had a heavy hit of mustard with my roast beef. My eyes were watering and before I knew it, my nose was running faster than Usain Bolt. On the plus side, it does gradually get smoother. Would probably go best with a rum and a cold. Despite the pain, I would definitely buy again and enjoy with friends next time!

I finished this stick just under an hour. The construction and draw is excellent. Creamy, sweet and woody. A fantastic morning smoke. I will be buying more of no2.

Smoked this cigar on a Friday night after a stressful week at work, the cigar had been left to rest for a good 4 weeks in the humidor. Being one of the cheap cigars in my collection i hadnt bothered with it but what a surprise i had when i lit her up! The cigar burned perfectly, no doubt about it. A beautiful Oaky aroma with a mild taste of coffee and the draw was just right. With the cigar being so light id say it would be a great beginners cigar and an excellent daily smoke. 100% buying some more.

It may or may not be true that some tobaccos favour
particular pipes... hmm... but it is true that a tobacco
that tastes wonderful one day can seem bland the
next. A curious phenomenon possibly to do with
biorhythms... maybe?
Whatever the reason I like to write reviews on a good
day - like today. I always enjoy Solani blends but
have put off trying Silver Flake in case I didn’t like it
and got stuck with a 100gm tin. Needn’t have
worried. The flake is folded into a neat clump and
separates easily, smells great, packs and lights
effortlessly and tastes of fine Virginia and Kentucky leaf.
I am on my second bowl this morning and looking
forward to a third. There is no topping that I can detect - just the taste of good pure tobacco. So why is it not a great blend? Hard to say - it is certainly a good smoke but lacks the character that would make it truly remarkable.

Been saving this. Took it to a wedding smoked something else. Took it to Amsterdam get away and didnt smoke it. Now I am smoking it and it was worth the wait, coffee, chocolate rich wood flavour and aroma. Build is good wrapper very dark and enticing. Pre light draw was wood and earth, cut perfect, burnt well went slightly sideways at a 3rd down but rectified easily. Band was cool but a bit homemade looking . Dark, deep and tasty. Wierd fuel taste on the draw when out but not in a bad way. Definitely check this one out for the price it was a very good stick.

Very light draw, although the build quality looked good and the band made it look even better I was extremely unimpressed with it. Slightly harsh lacking in flavor, it is possible that it was built a bit loose and therefore burnt too hot which lead to the lack of flavor. I wouldnt buy another but would not discount it completely as I think it had built issues maybe a different stick would produce much better results
