Description
The Camacho Connecticut shows an intense level of creaminess, which helps round out the spice and sweetness of the Honduran Criollo Seco binder. Honduran Corojo 99 visos and Honduran Criollo 98 visos, together with the Honduran Criollo Seco tobaccos, add to the profoundness of the bold flavor profile. The Connecticut wrapper pulls the blend together and helps enhance the overall experience by delivering aromas of wood, pepper, cream, and nuts.

Initial Thoughts:
Continuing my search for the perfect breakfast cigar, I found myself grabbing the Camacho Connecticut Toro. Camacho is a brand I smoked often in the mid-2000s, but after noticing a fluctuation in quality control, I moved on to other manufacturers.
But today, I’m smoking a Camacho I’ve never tried before. The Camacho Connecticut Toro has an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper and a blend of Honduran and Dominican tobacco inside. Since there are no Nicaraguan leaves inside, I expect this cigar to be mild and smooth, perfect for pairing with my favorite coffee.

Final Thoughts:
To be honest, the Camacho Connecticut Toro was a joy to smoke. The burn was perfect. The rollers paid attention to the details. The draw was good. Like I said, a joy to smoke. As I continued through the cigar, the flavors of roasted honey never got bitter and the cigar never got too hot.
Because this cigar gets everything right, including a rockstar price point, the Camacho Connecticut Toro earns a CigarScore of 5, and I’m looking forward to enjoying the next one!
