CigarChoice.net- Cigar Reviews and News

Ok, it’s about time for another review.  Between working a day job, and repping for Reyes Family Cigars in my off time, along with going to school, finding time to review hasn’t been really easy.  I got this cigar from my friend Skip ( @chiefhava on twitter).  We got to know eachother on Twitter, and eventually, he sent me a message that he’d like to do a trade, as I’d expressed interest in these Camacho Cajones.  My thought was, anything with a name like Cajones has to be a good smoke! I decided to review it for you guys, and let you know what I thought of it.

Pre-Light:  When I pulled this cigar out of my Xikar travel humidor, the first thing I noticed was that it was not real firm to the touch. I noticed there was one real big vein that was running just about the length of the cigar, but that wasn’t about to stop me from smoking them.  The thing I was excited about is that this cigar is aged anywhere from 5-7 years after rolling.  I am uncertain of what sizes they come in, but I have a few in a robusto size, about 5×50 or so, and a few in something that looks like its about a 6×60 size as well.  I clipped it with my trusty Palio, and took a pre-light draw.  The draw was a little looser than I normally like, but it wasn’t going to stop me.  On the draw, I got some nice peppery notes, with some woody and leathery flavors.  I took a second un-lit puff and got a real nice earth tone, with some sweetness on it.  I can’t wait to light this one up at this point!

1/3:  As I started on this cigar, the first thing I noticed was that the draw was a bit more loose than I normally enjoy.  The good thing about a draw like this is, you can control how much smoke you get at once.  The bad thing is, usually the cigar smokes a little faster than I would like.  As I found out, this cigar smoked pretty fast.  As I smoked this portion of the cigar, the first thing I got as far as flavors go, were a few hints of sweetness, and a strong kick of pepper, along with some earthy undertones to it.  The predominant flavor to the cigar at this point is the strong pepper flavor, with a touch of sweetness on the tounge on the finish.  So far, this is an enjoyable smoke.

2/3:  As I continued on this cigar, the sweetness made itself more well known.  The earthy flavors were still in the background, and still muted a bit.  The smoke was plentiful, as the draw was still fairly loose.  The ash was a little flakey, but thats ok, because I am just enjoying this cigar very much at this point.  The burn is fairly even, and I am still enjoying this cigar a lot.  The combination of sweetness and spice is really enjoyable.  Not only are the flavors good, but the nicotine buzz is quite substantial as well.

3/3:  As I finished up this cigar, I found myself with quite a nicotine buzz.  It sneaked up on me a bit, but it was kind of relaxing.  The ash is flaking off, but that doesn’t bother me.  The smoke is plentiful, and towards the end of the smoke, the cigar got hot, and I had to put it down, much to my dismay.

Overall Opinion:  Overall, I found this cigar to be enjoyable.  My only real complaint about it was the fact that that the draw was very loose, which made the cigar smoke fairly fast.  The flavors were very enjoyable though, and I can’t wait to smoke another one.  I have one of the 6×60 versions waiting for me, but I will need a few hours to smoke it.  I want to say thanks to @chiefhava on twitter for this cigar, I really enjoyed it!
