Camacho. Infamous since 1962. At least that’s what every Camacho label says. To be honest, Camacho was just another cigar brand from Honduras until about 20-25 years ago. The Eiroa family purchased the brand from long-time friend Sal Fontana and began to develop a new cigar using their proprietary, Honduran-grown Authentic Corojo tobacco. They claim to this day that they are the only growers of real Corojo tobacco in the world. This fabled tobacco varietal was grown in Cuba for a very long time, but due to mold issues, they stopped and vaulted the seeds. The Eiroas wanted to reintroduce this extremely flavorful tobacco to the world and tinkered for many years before perfecting a process of growing this tobacco in the Jamastran Valley of Honduras. With a blend of 100% Authentic Corojo tobaccos, the Camacho Corojo brand was born and re-established itself as a disruptor of the status quo.
The Camacho Corojo is made entirely of Authentic Corojo leaf grown on Camacho's Jamastran farm in Danli Honduras. It is one of the few cigars on the market to use only one type of tobacco. This well filled cigar draws and burns well and produces a good volume of smoke. The Camacho Corojo is a medium to full bodied smoke with robust flavors of leather and nuts along with hints of chocolate and coffee. Camacho Corojo is a great richly flavored smoke!
