Size: 5 x 52 Robusto
Appearance: This cigar looks good enough to eat, a nice dark/oily wrapper . It has two bands that are pretty cool looking and the cigar had no serious blemishes or major veins to report about.
Pre-Light: Before lighting this cigar, I took some draws from it and I got some light flavors of wood and leather. Cutting this cigar wasn't too bad and lighting it was hard either.
Burn/Draw: The burn started great, nothing bad EVER happened with the burn on this cigar. The draw was pretty normal, it was too loose or too tight, it was just right. The smoke that was a result of the draw wasn't abundant, but just enough to let me get the flavors.
Flavors: The first buff on this cigar was a real treat, it was loaded flavors of leather/earth goodness with some hints of wood. This happened for the first inch of the cigar then the flavors somewhat died off. Then the cigar went into a period of just being okay, nothing too special almost bland. But once I got to about an inch and a half left, the cigar got more and more flavor full....hmmm, weird.

Camacho Triple Maduro
Size: 6 x 54
Appearance: This cigar is one dark and tasty treat. The wrapper is so dark and it has absolutely no visible damage on it, although it was a bit rough..nothing too serious like veins and peeling.
Pre-Light: Clipping this cigar was very easy, thank god for the torpedo tip. Some of the pre-light draws that I took revealed some nice dark and rich earthy notes with some spicy goodness to it. I couldn't wait to light this bad boy up.
Burn/Draw: All the way through out this cigar, the draw was never in question. It was never too loose or too tight, just right. When I first started to light this cigar, I noticed that it wasn't lighting!!! It took me at least 7 mins to get a good light on it (major point deduction). The burn wasn't something to be proud to be about, but nothing too damaging to the experience of the cigar,
Flavors: Right off the bat this cigar seemed to be loaded with some earthy richness with a little hint of spice. This was continuous for the first 4 or 5 puffs of this stogie, then it took a turn that kind of surprised me. The cigar completely changed, all of the heavy earth flavors somewhat left completely. Untill later in the cigar the earth flavor returned and the spice notes increased but I couldn't hep but feel this cigar was alittle rushed while being made, it is still very young and it will only get better with age. I would love try again with some age on it.
Recommended but somewhat of a disappointment for me.
