Filler: Honduran
Made In: Honduras

Appearance & Construction: A nice rustic looking cigar that has a rough looking dark brown wrapper. There are some prominent veins on the wrapper but over it looks to be constructed very well. The band is a nice brown with gold lettering that is very classy looking. Lets fire up this cigar and see what it brings us.
Smoking Characteristics: The draw is perfect on this cigar. Loose with a bit of resistance and the cigar produces a lot of this smoke. The burn is slightly off but well within acceptability. The ash is a nice compact dark gray that holds very nicely. This cigar is well into the full bodied realm and has some serious strength.
Flavors: Whoa, some serious spice up front on this cigar. After about a half inch, the cigar settles into a sweet earthy flavor with some notes of coffee, leather, and black pepper. The flavors of this cigar are very consistent and do not change much throughout the cigar.
Final Thoughts: Although I did enjoy this cigar it wasn’t anything special to me. There is however, a huge following of this cigar by many. I see why they like it, it’s full, it has good flavor, and it’s a good value for what you get. If you are into full bodied pepper bombs, this cigar is for you.
Worth a Shot: Yes
Buy Again: Maybe
Enjoyablity: Medium

I find I prefer the Camacho Corojo Limited 11/18′s over the budget line. I have tried very hard to like these cigars but feel that my palate is too spoiled by the more refined Limited version. I have a 5 pack resting in the humidor I will try again after a year of aging to see if my opinion has changed.
For now I will continue to scour the devil site and poach boxes of the Limited’s as they bring significantly more enjoyment to me.
