Cigars and Wine in Grapevine

Two friends and I each picked up this cigar last night and smoked them after dinner, so that we could taste compare and try something new, both at the same time. The cigar was advertised to have tastes of Cedar and Coffee.

My cigar started very dry. It burned incredibly even and had plenty of smoke, but the taste didn’t start all that great. However, about 10% into it, it developed a slight coffee flavor and the dryness dissipated. The dryness did not return and the hits of coffee came-and-went during the entire course of the cigar. The burn remained even, and ash very white, and I never had to re-light it at all.

The quality of this smoke was quite good, but I didn’t care for the taste all that much, and I didn’t like the dryness at all. A good smoke experience, but not one that I would look for again in the store.

I am sitting at the Euless Cigar Shop right now smoking this Camacho.  This is my first Camacho, but I have read good things about them and decided to try one.  It starts quite smooth and tasteful, and has plenty of smoke.  I’m only about 1/3 of the way into the cigar right now, but I can tell that I am going to like it.  It has a somewhat harsh taste, but not in a bad way, more like just a good, dark Maduro flavor.  The draw is very good and the smoke isn’t hot at all, at least not yet.  It isn’t the best cigar I have had, and I don’t think I would put it in my top 10, but for $5.80 I think that I will probably smoke this one again some time.
