Camacho 1962 Churchill Cigar Review
Written by Bobby Rica, Monday, 08, November 2010
Review
As a celebration of its 45th birthday, Camacho introduces its 1962 line, dubbed by many as their finest creation. Originally known as a cigar brand that produces some of the best full-bodied smokes, the Camacho takes a medium-bodied approach with the 1962. The cigar line only commemorates the move from Cuba to the Honduras. However, the question is begged to be asked: is the cigar really as good as advertised?
First, we'll start with the aesthetics, in which the Honduran tobaccos are elegantly rolled using a Criollo wrapper that has a dark appearance and lovely aroma. The medium-bodied smoke that is dominated by its smooth profile of toasted nuts and earth, with a touch of spice makes a flavorful blend. At times, the stogie reaches for usual full-bodied taste that Camacho usually delivers, making for some unique moments during the smoke, which makes the cigar an appealing choice for people smoking full-bodied stubs wanting to try out cigars with medium strength. Hence, the 1962 packs in enough punch in the medium range that would definitely appeal to full-bodied smokers.

06:32 (EST)I have to admit...this cigar used to be one of my faves...I even have to admit Ive bought a box or two or ten. Great mellow smoke...makes you feel good...and no real issues with it from head to bone.... I havent smoked one in a looooong time, but I have turned on a few novice cigar smokers to them, and I think I will have one tonight.... btw...great review Tony Blake!

03:00 (EST)I've smoked the Camacho 1962 Cuban Pre-Embargo Toro (6x48) which according to Christian Eiroa has approximately 40% Cuban Pelo De Oro pre-embargo tobacco in it from 4 bails they discovered they had when they bought Camacho... Wrapper: Vintage 1999 Jamastran Corojo, Binder: Honduran, Filler: Honduran & aged 1962 Pelo De Oro Cuban tobacco... Interesting cigar with a pigtail & closed foot, containing approx. 40% 48 year old pre-embargo Cuban tobacco... med-full body smoke... spice, aged creamy leather, wood, earth, nut notes with a little sweetness... fun smoke, gives you a heady buzz...

08:49 (EST)The Camacho 1962 Churchill pretty much delivers the goods to smokers. A medium-bodied smoke giving off lots of aromatic smoke, the cigar could find its way into every cigar enthusiasts' collection. The only gripe with the Churchill is the lack of interesting moments that will keep smokers up on their feet. Be that as it may, the smoke is a laid-back concoction of spicy and sweet flavors that mildly entertains.

08:25 (EST)OK, the Camacho 1962 just gets better and better the more I smoke it. Great construction. Easily cut and punctured. In my opinion this goes really well with a glass of brandy. I had to light it again at the start but all in all it burned well. It tasted sweet but not too sweet just enough for me to enjoy. I also enjoyed blowing the rich creamy smoke above my head and watch it dissipate slowly. I'm planning on saving my last one for a special occasion but what the hell. I think I'll light it up in a while.

12:33 (EST)Well the price is a bit over my budget but I can say that I would be willing to shell out a little bit more for these. I like the way the flavor is a bit thick but smooth and also the sweet taste that evens it all out. I like how it's different, I can get definitely get used to it. This Churchill from the Camacho line is as straightforward as cigars would get, which didn't exactly justify its steep price. Everything in the stogie is just adequate, from construction to burn. Don't get me wrong, the raw tobacco taste with appeal to most cigar enthusiasts, but there's got to be more from this straight-shooting smoke.
