The cigar was an experience I will enjoy many more times.
Construction
I could smell the cigar. It was firm and smooth with a slightly oily feel.
Wrapper: Ecuadorian Connecticut – Binder: Honduras Corojo Cuban Seed – Filler: Honduras and Dominican
Taste
Smell and cold draw
I brought the cigar to my nose and was a little surprised, the wrapper smelled of hay and a scent that reminded me of milk chocolate, milk chocolate in particular I feel is quite unusual in the scent. The filler chocolate me with a little, even they reminded me of milk chocolate. The cold draw of the cigar was incredibly pleasant and gave shades of dark chocolate.
1/3 Let’s light up the cigar and see what Camacho Connecticut robusto has to offer
After I had roasted the cigar I was greeted by an incredibly soft and smooth Creamy texture.The flavors that came were soft and easy for the taste buds to absorb. The flavors I felt in the cigar were a stated general sweetness, cedar woodiness, light shade that I can most easily describe as milk chocolate, a faint shade of dark berries with a light tartness and general floweriness. In the background was a faint shade of leather. The inhalation was smooth and gave a hint of cedar wood. The cigar was incredibly easy to smoke.
2/3 Camacho Connecticut robusto shows a smooth complexity
As I entered the second third of the cigar it showed a lighter complexity. The texture became a little thicker where the creaminess increased a little. The flavors I felt were general woodiness with a lighter sweetness, the taste of dark berries from before took up more space now and became a little more sour, a mixture of milk chocolate and dark chocolate, the leather flavor took up more space on the taste buds. The floral went back a bit and was now in the background. The retrohale got a bit thicker and gave flavors of general woodiness.
3/3 The cigar offered a really lovely finish.
The creamy texture grew a little but not much from the second third. The flavors I felt were general floral mixed with grass, general sweetness, general nuttiness with a lighter undertone of cashew nuts and hay. In the background were flavors of general woodiness and leather. The retrohale was smooth and gave nuances of woodiness and leaf fire.
After taste
Slightly bitter and dry with a hint of walnuts
Body
Mild
Smoke time
The Camacho Connecticut robusto cigar provided 60 minutes of smoking time
Conclusion
The cigar was smooth in the flavors. The flavors had a good balance between each other and none was more prominent. The body being mild made it suitable for new and more experienced aficionados. If you want to smoke a cigar with lighter complexity, this is a good choice. If I compare price vs. quality and taste, I think it is exactly where it should be.
