Quick Smoke: Camacho Corojo Robusto
5 Apr 2014
Each Saturday and Sunday we’ll post a Quick Smoke: not quite a full review, just our brief verdict on a single cigar of “buy,†“hold,†or “sell.â€
I’ve smoked a handful of Camacho cigars since the brand’s re-launch and have yet to find one I enjoy nearly as much as I did when they were leading the full-bodied charge years ago. Unfortunately, the Corojo Robusto (5 x 50) continues that streak. This Honduran puro, with a $7 price tag, is powerful but one-dimensional with not much in the way of flavor.
Verdict = Sell.

I was of a similar opinion back when these (re)launched. However, after a few months rest, they have both the body and complexity of the old Camachos, albeit slightly subdued in the strength dept. More in line with Camacho Havanas than pre-2013 Corojos. I'd recommend another shot. Man that new packaging is rough though…
