This is an offering from Camacho. It presents with a very light wrapper that is silky and flawless, with very few veins. The construction feels as if it might be a bit soft, but I can't tell if there will be issues with the performance. The pre light aroma is light and has hints of balsa and a sweet note of bread. The pre light draw is put off by the sweetened head of the cigar.
The cigar begins with a sweet profile that has notes of vanilla and toast. There is some light pepper and fruit at the back of the palate. The draw is exceptional and produces an excellent amount of smoke. The burn is even and produces a light gray ash that is a touch flaky.
At the one inch point the profile is very mellow and shows notes of vanilla and light wood flavors. The burn and draw are both consistent. At the back of the palate there are some sweet floral notes, but there is a thin grassy flavor there as well.
At the halfway point the cigar continues to show vanilla and wood notes, but there is a lack of complexity and depth. The burn is slightly off at this point and the ash continues to flake. The draw is still performing well and is easy and smooth.
The final half of the cigar performs well. The profile has a core of sweet floral notes, with slight touches of vanilla and cinnamon. The depth and complexity are still disappointing. The burn and draw continue to perform well throughout.
The finish is shallow and shows some sour notes that will hurt the score.
