Camacho 1962 Robusto Cigar Review
Written by Bobby Rica, Tuesday, 25, November 2008
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.

04:10 (EST)A dry, almost cedary flavor that ripens to an intriguing bitter chocolate finish – yum. Complex and well-constructed (nice cigar band too), but a bit too dry for me. And as with many anniversary or limited-edition cigars, a bit too overpriced.

09:39 (EST)This cigar is looking good. For 3 bucks I would say it's affordable and it can definitely compete with more expensive cigars out there. The taste is a little spicy and creamy flavored which is good. It's rolled just right, not too tight and too loose which gives me a nice comfy draw to get just the right amount of smoke I need to enjoy my cigar time. If you haven't tried this you're missing out.

08:24 (EST)The Robusto earns points with an attractive appearance and firm construction thanks largely in part to the Honduras wrapper. In fact, the wrapper also scores in helping the cigar possess an earthy profile due to its flavorful components. Smokers will find them delving deeper in the delight of the cigar, with the spices coming full circle from that moment. However, the Robusto finishes with an unnecessary bang, or, to put it more accurately, a harsh burn that leaves a bad taste to the mouth. Nevertheless, the smoke deserves an attention or two.

06:05 (EST)I've heard as well as read some comments on how these cigars burn hot. They burn just right with me. I really like the way the flavor comes in full throttle. It has a certain kick that keeps me wanting more. Looks great tastes great. Not pricey at all if you ask me. Worth every penny!

06:33 (EST)The Robusto starts off on good notes with a lovely appearance with a faultless cap, accompanied by a criollo wrapper that lends to the unique taste of the smoke. There is a wealth of flavors contained in the stogie such as earth and leather capped off by a creamy finish. The cigar is supposed to receive a higher grade if not for the very hot part just before the end. Nevertheless, the Robusto is definitely a good full-bodied smoke.
