Camacho black band A (connecticut monarch)

[BlackIrish]

Thanks, Ferdie. I got these a year ago or so and smoked the first one, the A, yesterday. Your experience is very similar to mine, except mine had no construction problems whatsoever: clipped perfectly, burned *very* straight, and drew fine, if slightly easy. The flavors, as you note, were quite nice -- some mild spices on top of creamy chocolate and nuts. I was pleasantly surprised, because I'd had a Camacho Connecticut a few months ago and wasn't that impressed with it. Perhaps the smaller vitola is better? perhaps the year in my humi allowed it to improve?
