Camacho Triple Maduro 6x60

For cigar aficionados, the Camacho brand is synonymous with “full” – as in full-bodied, full-flavored, and full of character. Their blends usually promise a powerful well-balanced smoke brimming with aromatic flavor. This is precisely why Camacho makers Christian and Julio Eiroa have developed such a loyal cult-like following – that and their profile of 90+ rated cigars.

The Camacho Triple Maduro you have in your shipment is the world’s first all maduro cigar – filler, binder, and wrapper are all maduro. Legend has it that the Eiroas had to try 84 different blends before perfecting their peculiar creation, but we’re sure glad they did! This full-bodied powerhouse is big, bold, luscious, and oh so tempting with its super dark Mexican San Andrés wrapper, and its Honduran corojo binder and Honduran, Dominican, and Brazilian long-fillers, all maduro. Light ‘er up and be prepared to be blown away with a full-bodied texture boasting complex, rich notes of spice and earth that, though strong and bold, won’t totally wreck your palate. Pair this bad boy with a barrel-aged stout or a simple black coffee.

Honduras has been a tobacco growing and cigar manufacturing area for hundreds of years, but it was the Communist revolution in Cuba that really put Honduras on the map. In the 1960s, many Cuban cigar makers fled their homeland and arrived in Honduras to re-establish their way of life. The immigrants took advantage of the climate, soil, and geography, which were well-suited to tobacco growing, and began producing high quality cigars. The center of the Honduran cigar industry is the city of Danli and the nearby Jamastran Valley. The majority of the world’s pure Corojo tobacco is grown here, now that Cuba has stopped production of this iconic, spicy, and rich variety in favor of Corojo hybrids. Other important areas of Honduran cigar production include the Talanga Valley, Copan, and Trojes.
