Billed as one of the strongest cigars in the world, the Camacho Corojo is made with what is also billed as the only true authentic Corojo. Camacho cigars are known for the strength and full flavor. The Eiroas family took the Corojo seed from Cuba after the embargo and started growing, then later rolling in Honduras. Let’s see how the Camacho stood up to the hype.

Appearance: I have always loved the appearance of Corojo cigars. They have a very earthy, leathery look to them and this Figurado was no exception. Kind of a bad-ass looking cigar if you ask me. 10/10

Construction: I don’t know why, but Camacho cigars always seem very light for their size. I am always afraid of the burn because they are soft (more on that later). I really enjoy a densely packed cigar. To me, they just FEEL better. The Corojo did seem soft all over but the torpedo shape was perfect. 7/10

Burn: While I was afraid of the burn on this, I should not have been. True to form, this burned flawlessly with no touch ups. 10/10!

Aroma: Almost a sweet aroma but with very earthy notes. Lots of leather and spice. 9/10

Draw: Like the burn, I was aftaid this would be a real hot box but it was not. Just a great draw. I don’t know how they do it with such a soft cigar, but they do, every time. 10/10!

Flavor: I really liked the flavor of this cigar. It was very subtle. 9/10

Availability: While you can find most of the line almost anywhere, it is fairly hard to find the figurados. 7/10

Personal Overall Experience: I have liked every Camacho cigar I have ever had. This one is probably my favorite. It is just very balanced and consistent. I could enjoy these almost any time of day and still want more. I would not agree that this is one of the strongest cigars in the world (not by far), however it is a very enjoyable one. 28/30.

Total: 90/100
