Camacho Criollo Gigante

The Camacho Criollo is a Camacho of a different stripe. The Criollo blend was designed to showcase the softer side of Camacho, while still delivering outstanding flavor and value. In order to accomplish this feat, the blend begins with Dominican Piloto Cubano and other Honduran filler tobaccos, an Authentic Corojo binder, and is finished with a stunning Honduran Criollo ‘98 wrapper prized for its unique flavor profile. Tasting notes include flavors of cedar, earth, and pepper with hints of sweetness and cocoa. It is never overpowering and delivers a smooth smoking experience reminiscent of the heydays of Cuban cigars. Sit back, relax, and enjoy! This is a cigar you can enjoy anytime of the day.

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.
