Camacho 1962 Robusto

[beauregard]

Every time I have a Camacho it feels like I’m on a dare; it’s like Scottish food or grain alcohol.

This is a beautiful cigar. Construction looked good on this. There were some big veins.

I have never seen a more perfect burn.

Draw was too tight.

Strong. I can’t feel my lips!

Flavor: If Hoyo De Monterrey is coffee then this is Kahlua. There is plenty of flavor here. Too much flavor if you ask me. I like a lot of flavor but this is to the point of painfull. It’s like painfull sex; I wanted it… now I wonder if I’m still enjoying it.

I only smoked about half of this before I got a headache and had enough.

Nice review. :tu

Funny, I smoke a lot of Camachos (understatement) and these are one of my least favorite because I find them too mild. :ss

You mean the 1962s? I did read that they were the mildest Camachos. Hey a smoked half of it. That's more than I did the first Camacho. First time I was not prepared.

Just smoked one of these for the first time while camping. Gifted to me by MeanD.
I thought it medium strength with a great flavor all the way through. I would smoke another one anytime. An easy, enjoyable, smoke.

Funny, all of mine are packed too loose ..... spongy to the touch. BTW, I got the torps. I still like 'em alot. :tu

Painful sex can be easily mitigated with a dose of enthusiasm.

These are some of the most flavorful damn smokes in the Camacho line (subjective experience of course) but my first several handfuls were packed too loose - perhaps they've corrected the early fill problems? Either way, these are yummy.

Good review :tu

but my first several handfuls were packed too loose

:tpd: I love the 1962s, but the ones I've had lately have been like smoking straws. Still a great smoke to me! :ss

Only had one of these and found it to be incredibly mild and smooth for a camacho, which means a good med-full smoke compared to others. I was prepared for the normal camocho kick but it wasn't in this one. I have enjoyed every camacho I ever had, even if they are really strong. I have had great draws on all the Camachos I have had too...but I like a looser draw and lots of smoke!

I bought a bundle in December. Weren't my cup of tea. Too mild, bad construction, and generally tasted like :BS

I have one or two left and I'm waiting to see if a year of aging will improve them.
