#2 was the now discontinued Camacho Negro. Wrapper is a Mexican maduro, Honduran filler/binder. Great job, Huy.

Those were really good tasting cigars - not sure why they didn't go over, maybe the absorbant price that JR was charging for them due to the packaging.

I might be remembering things wrong, but I thought all of the Camacho Negros were box pressed?

Pre-light

This 3rd cigar is covered by a maduro wrapper with little oils and one very noticeable vein. The smell of this cigar is very pleasant, something a little sweet. Okay, let's take a bite off the cap. Taking a dry draw, it seems as if this cigar is not very giving, but I can taste the sweet hay like flavor. Okay time to light this thing up.



First/Third

Wow wow wow. The first couple puffs on this cigar just blown me away. The flavors are so rich. The initial puff on this cigar, I was able to pick up on a hint of coffee beans with some light peppers that lingers the back of my throat. The finish is very long and is making me take a drink of my water. After about 5 minutes of settling in on this cigar, the flavors have mellowed out to a sweet coffee bean taste with some peppers to it. The flavors on this cigar is very smooth.



Second/Third

I am able to pick up on the sweet maduro with hints of nuts. I mentioned in the pre-light that this cigar was going to be tough to draw on, it's a little tough so I used my draw tool to poke down its pipe hole! This smoke is burning a little uneven, a little touch up as well. The ash on this stick is solid firm. Such a high maintenance cigar! Okay back to the flavor profile. I also pick up a smoky component, leaving the back of my throat felling like a charcoal grill. I have an idea of what this cigar is but I don't want to ruin it for myself, let's smoke some more!




Last

The cigar is burning a little more even now and the draw seems to have opened a little more. A soft pepper flavor is also something that I am to pick up, this flavor is balancing out very well with the rest of the smoke. Think roasted nuts with a light pepper, I would say that those are the two prominent flavors through out the last 3rd.



Conclusion

Overall I enjoyed this cigar very much, although at times, the stick went wavy on me. I'm not sure if this would be a cigar I would grab out of the humi every day, but it's something I wouldn't mind once in a while. Overall, I would say that this is a medium smoke. I want to say this is something Nicaraguan, maybe a 601? Although it did not have that Pepin spice blast, I still think it's the 601. Bob did say that it has some age on it... I'm sticking to it. 601.

Very nice review Huy. It is indeed a Nicaraguan but not a Pepin or Ortega. It is an Illusione 88. One of those bad boys has to be a Pepin! Or does it!

Great thread to come back to, but Huy...did you ever smoke the last two??? None-the-less, I really enjoyed the review of the first three. It's interesting to see how perceptions may have changed in almost 4 years.
