Camacho Triple Maduro 11/18

This has been a hectic week and I found myself just smoking cigars, as opposed to tasting them, so I decided to review one of my higher priced go-to cigars

Visual: This stick has a deep chocolate colored wrapper with minimal veins except for 2 large ones that are about 1" long each. The construction is good, the cap was a bit sloppy, and the bands are the usual camacho style. I actually think the bright silver bands look good against the dark wrapper

Pre-light: medium resistance on the draw with raisins and barnyard flavors. Chocolate smell when you sniff the foot and wrapper

Immediately, I taste spice and barnyard notes, which backs off after a quarter inch to let unsweetened coco into the flavor pool. It took a little longer to light than most sticks I've come across, but from what I've heard, that's normal. As I get further, the coco starts getting sweet and I taste leathery hay and mild floral notes


2/3
The ash finally fell at the start of this 3rd, the burn has been razor straight also. The flavors are milk chocolate and floral hay. As I progressed, the cigar kept trying to go out, which caused the hay to get spicy and over shadow the chocolate flavor

3/3
At this point, the chocolate and herbs are equal in strength, and the cigar is no longer trying to go out. The flavor stays one dimensional

I don't normally smoke camacho cigars, and they aren't my favorites, but I would buy this again, maybe not a box, but definately a 5er

I would like to note that I was feeling ill and my tastebuds may have been a bit dulled

Overall, 84/100
