Camacho Ecuador robusto cigar review

I was incredibly impressed by the smoke time.  As time went on, had I not smoked it I would have thought it was a toro.

Construction

The cigar was firm and nice, the only thing that was a little concerning was a vein behind the wrapper closer to the middle. There was a slightly thicker but at the same time smooth Oiliness that enveloped the cigar.

Wrapper: Equador – Binder: Brazil – Filler: Dominican

Taste

Smell and cold draw

I brought the cigar to my nose and felt how the wrapper smelled of hay while the filler smelled of hay and sweetness. The cold draft tasted like hay.

Camacho Ecuador robusto cigar review

1/3 Lets light the Camacho Ecuador robusto cigar

I lit the cigar and was greeted by a creamy yet slightly buttery texture. The flavors I felt were general nuttiness, sweet fruitiness with a slight hint of lemon, cedar, soft and smooth shades of dark and milk chocolate, sweet florals and hay. The retrohalation tickled a bit but was smooth at the same time and gave a hint of general pepperiness.

2/3 The flavors change a little in the cigar

When I got into the second third the texture changed a bit and was now just creamy. The flavors it gave were Fresh spices, fruitiness with slight acidity, nuttiness, some light dark chocolate, Sweet woodiness, light espresso with caramel syrup like sweetness, light hay, light salty licorice. Retrohalation was smooth light pepperiness with slight sweetness. Toward the end, some dark berry-like cherries reached the taste buds.

3/3 lets se what the last part of the cigar has to offer

The texture was creamy with a slight buttery hint. The flavors I felt were sweet woodiness, hay, fresh spices and nuttiness. In the background there were two fruity shades which is unusual, shades of dark berries in the direction of cherries, fruitiness with a sourness in the direction of lemon, a mixture of espresso and coffee latte with brown sugar. The backhaul was smooth and gave nuances of white pepper and woodiness. Towards the end of the cigar there was almost a shock, a light hint of vanilla came in to finish it all off.

Smoke time

The smoke time really shocked me. The cigar was incredibly slow smoking and I smoked it in the same climate as I usually do and had it stored in the same humidity as I always do. I hardly believed them myself, but it took 80 minutes to smoke the cigar. It was a regular robusto.

Conclusion

An incredibly well-balanced cigar in the flavors. The medium body suits most cigar smokers. The smoke time was incredible. If I compare price vs taste vs quality, I think I got an incredible amount of cigar for the money.
