Camacho Ecuador Robusto | Medium-Full Cigar | Honduras

Camacho Ecuador Robusto

Camacho is not a brand that does subtle. Since the 1960s, the name has been synonymous with powerful, character-driven cigars and the Ecuador Robusto is one of the clearest expressions of what the brand does best. Rated 91 by Cigar Aficionado, this is a cigar that earns its reputation.

At the heart of it is the wrapper: a dark, oily Ecuadorian Habano leaf, sun-grown at altitude. It's the kind of wrapper that draws you in before you've even lit the cigar. Beneath it sits a Brazilian Mata Fina binder and a blend of high-priming Honduran ligero alongside Dominican Pelo de Oro a combination that gives the Ecuador its distinctive backbone without ever tipping into harshness.

The smoke opens with cedar and a touch of honey sweetness, then builds through the body into stronger notes of coffee and pepper, with a subtle raisin and wood on the retrohale. The final third turns slightly sweeter caramel coming through alongside a long, warm finish. The burn is clean, the draw is perfectly calibrated, and the ash holds firm. In a 5 x 50 Robusto format, you're looking at around 45 to 55 minutes of excellent smoking.

For anyone who wants more than a mild afternoon smoke this is it.
