Camacho Connecticut


Camacho Connecticut Churchill (7x48)



Introduction - Starts off with a mild-medium earthiness and a hint of leather, very slight pepper taste on retrohale. Finish is very short, little to no oiliness. No strength.

Midway - Burn is great. Coffee and leather now dominate the taste and aftertaste, now about a medium body. Still a slight bit of pepper and the spiciness is picking up. Finish is getting longer, with a sweet mouth feel.  Still no strength.

Finish - Other than a strong burst of wood flavor, flavors are still the same, still a medium body. Pepper and spiciness is still going up on the retrohale. Finish is still relatively short. Burn is still excellent.

Duration - 59 minutes

Grade - 7/10

Price: Around $7.50

Comments: For a Connecticut I really liked it and the price point can be very reasonable as well.

Rocky Patel Royale Robusto (5x52) Introduction - Starts off very well, medium-full body. Strong, sweet earthy flavor, with undertones of something like a mocha, slight bit of pepper and spice on the retrohale. Flavor stays in the mouth and nose for a long time, slight oily feel as well. Midway - Burning slightly unevenly but not a problem. Coffee taste is increasing, still medium-full body. Just a hint of a leather flavor as an undertone, spiciness is also increasing on the retrohale. Little to no strength so far. Earthiness on the finish, oiliness and length is going up.   Finish - Burn evened out and is now good. Coffee and leather are the primary flavors now, a full body smoke now but not overwhelming. Spiciness is on full blast for the retrohale, made my eyes water doing it. Strong earthiness remains in the mouth, lips are beginning to tingle.    Duration: About 45 minutes. Price: Around $11 Grade: 6.5/10, I found it to be a very pleasant and satisfying smoke, bu...
