i havent tried one yet but i seem to remember a ccom radio podcast where they took some guys down to the camacho factory and they got to try one. I kinda forgot about it since. you might be able to dig that pod cast up and find some stuff out.
i like maduro and camacho but the shop that had em near me was charging 14 for their toro. I (also) just wanna know if its $14.00 worth of good before i get one.
I tried this cigar about a month ago and am having a hard time NOT buying them. Every time I step into the humidor I am suddenly drawn over to the Camacho section and grabbing a couple. At my local shop they run for $11 out the door and I personally think that they are well worth. Side note... I just ordered a box of 18 of the robustos and a box of 18 of the Torpedoes. I would also really like to try the 11/18 size I hear it is a nice long smoke.
P.S. If you ever want to try this cigar and win one of my contests or PIF's, just let me know to send one of them in the package and I will happily do so

I had one a few weeks ago and it kicked my butt. It was a very nice smoke, smooth, flavorfull everything i could have ask for, but when I stood up after the smoke my head was spinnin! Kind of like the ligero type cigars (joya de nicaragua antonio). Kind of pricy, but an interesting smoke.
I've smoked 'em and they're in my top 5(for now at least). Great burn and rich flavor along with intense aroma. Try George T. Stagg bourbon with a splash as your beverage and heaven is just a local call away.
I think I posted this before but the Trip Mad lacks any kind of pepper or punch IMO. Its ok not my fave.
Was that your only gripe with the cigar? I'd agree with you on the lack of pepper and punch as well, this is certainly not a spicy cigar, I recall it being more creamy and rich in flavor but not an intense cigar.
Yea that was my only gripe. Very well constructed, I just expected more kick and some spice from it. You know how expectations are when you don't get them, especially at that price tag, you are disappointed.
Yeah I hear ya on that one... My local B&M wants like $20 for the 6x60, I kinda just laugh and walk over to the CAO display. I liked the Triple Maduro, but not that much.
