Camacho Pre Embargo cigars

scarlin

I bought the pre embargo 5 set with herf-a-dor and I was wondering when were these cigars rolled? I know the tobacco is from 1962 and the wrapper is 9 years aged, so I am assuming these were rolled recently. Anyone have any info on these? Anyone have any experiences to tell me as well?

Your guess is as good as mine, could be last year or last week for all any of us know. This cigar is a real treat, don't let the advertising fool you though, the cigar is not special due to its "pre-embargo filler", but rather the wrapper is what makes this cigar what it is.

Also note only 1 SINGLE strand of long filler is Pre Embargo in each of these cigars...

What kind is the rest of this filler then?

Post Embargo...Camacho is known for their outstanding wrappers, corojo

Seriously brother, do not smoke it for the filler, smoke it for the wrapper. Great smoke but smoke it slowly.

Ive noticed that a lot of Camacho stuff is kept from the public. Oh well more for us to find out.

I have only smoked a couple of the pre embargos and my take is the wrapper is very good as all Camacho corojo tobacco is. Otherwise I didn't think it deserved the high price tag it carries. I guess with all the hype I was expecting more. Still a very good smoke though but not my favorite Camacho.

Unlike some varied brands of non cubans, cuban cigars always get better with time. I have yet to read an example of a cuban needing to be smoked within a certain time frame to be good.

scarlin

So this basically uses that one strand of cuban leaf as a promotion basically? Which means the wrapper and rest of the filler is phenomenal? Yum

I personally love just about anything Fuente, but lately I've been noticing a lot of construction issues in their different blends, it's been rather saddening. Actually, the 3 of the last 5 Opus's that I've smoked haven't done too well on the construction front. I'm not sure what's going on, I had never had problems with them before.

I am assuming the P2000 is in the same boat as the Camacho then?

Depends what you mean. If you mean with regards to the amount of actual pre-embargo tobacco used (not enough to actually have any effect on flavor...), then yes. If you mean being a great cigar with a really special wrapper and great blend? No, the P2000 sucks.
