Camacho. Infamous since 1962. At least that’s what every Camacho label says. To be honest, Camacho was just another cigar brand from Honduras until about 20-25 years ago. The Eiroa family purchased the brand from long-time friend Sal Fontana and began to develop a new cigar using their proprietary, Honduran-grown Authentic Corojo tobacco. They claim to this day that they are the only growers of real Corojo tobacco in the world. This fabled tobacco varietal was grown in Cuba for a very long time, but due to mold issues, they stopped and vaulted the seeds. The Eiroas wanted to reintroduce this extremely flavorful tobacco to the world and tinkered for many years before perfecting a process of growing this tobacco in the Jamastran Valley of Honduras. With a blend of 100% Authentic Corojo tobaccos, the Camacho Corojo brand was born and re-established itself as a disruptor of the status quo.
Camacho Connecticut was designed to showcase the softer side of the Camacho brand. But it’s a tricky proposition to blend a milder cigar for a bold brand that is not bland and boring. However, we feel the blenders at Camacho struck the perfect balance of flavor and strength. Hand made in Honduras, the Camacho Connecticut features Honduran filler tobaccos along with a Honduran-grown Authentic Corojo binder leaf, and is topped with an exceptional Connecticut wrapper grown in Ecuador. These beautiful, golden-looking cigars are mild-to-medium in strength but have wonderful, rich flavors. Tasting notes include flavors of cream, nuts, and earth along with balanced hints of leather and black pepper. It has a nice crisp finish that is highly enjoyable.
