This is by far the weirdest thing I've ever smoked. My brain don't even know what to do with it. I can't tell if I kinda like it or straight up hate it. It's got a weird aroma to it. It's interesting though. Definitely fun experience, probably would never try again though. Absolutely alien cigar. Not even sure it should be called a cigar. I did enjoy it though, so I'm not hating on it. But this isn't a cigar, especially the back half. Taste like something they would smoke on Star Trek.

I’m picky about Cigars and especially from being stationed in Central America in the early 90’s so I know what you mean.
Camacho isn’t a bad smoke and if you like those try “CLE “ another Honduran Rolled Brand that has a distinct taste from the region.
What’s a shame is for a Cigar with a Jamaican reference if Royal Jamaican was still around they would’ve been a great choice to do something like that.

if Royal Jamaican was still around

I remember in my Navy days in Norfolk around 1982, bought a couple boxes of Royal Jamaicans. Some of the best cigars I ever smoked. They'd leave your fingers greasy from the nub.

Haha, they were old school classics.
I had my first on a dive trip near Negril from an old lady that filled my tanks. She smoked them 24/7 and told me “Ya no smoke dat junk round here” pointing at my cigar.
Ya wan me fill dem tanks smoke a real cigar
They grow on you and especially around the last third.

its been like an hour and I can't get this stink out of my nose and off my palet, I've showered, brushed my teeth, drank tea. I can't get rid of it. Worst cigar ever. Like smoking perfume. I see that kid when I go back down there I'm gonna have to whoop his tail..that cigar is wrecking my day.

Camacho I've only had the Ecuador and I liked it. This store don't have much, the real cigar store is kinda a drive. I've been enjoying these Aladino Cigars lately and they are Houndran. Man being stationed down there I bet you've had all kinds of good cigars. I've only just started with Cigars, Padron 2000 been another good one I've liked.

I started on Padron’s when they still had a factory in Honduras.
They no longer do and that’s sad because they really produced some great smokes there. The whole region was dangerous 30 years ago and now it’s really bad. Nicaragua is still rolling strong and it’s safer and honestly so darn close it passes a Pepsi Challenge. Punch is another worth grabbing from Honduras.

Bottom half = Balkan Supreme

Read a cool quote on TR's:
"More Virginia forward and less Perique forward - now, there is naught wrong with this, but I share a sentiment with reviewer Pipestud that I like my pipe tobaccos to slap me around a little bit."

After a second day of frustrating football and a supper of beans and cornbread (wonderful, I might add), finally got some time in the garage with some Wilke 515 in a Jansen’s of New Orleans belge with Topo Chico to drink. One of my favorite blends in an easy smoking pipe. $15 well spent.

Had a pretty good day…took the family to the Phillies game. Then watched the s take down the Chiefs again. Just had a delicious lemon dill salmon dinner with garlic green beans and potatoes au gratin. Now enjoying some aged Cabbies Mixture in a Tekin Lattice Dublin Meer with ️. Yeah a pretty good day indeed.
