Jericho: Not Your Typical Camacho

The Jericho robusto is not heavy and meaty like your typical Camacho. Still, for the bargain basement prices these things were selling for (I believe the whole line has been discontinued) they were a steal. Definitely a winner in the "Best Cheap Cigars" category.

The robusto size is medium-bodied with a soft leathery flavor supported by the occasional hint of sweetness. Toward the end it got stronger and much more enjoyable. It was smokeable to the nub. Great performance for a cigar that was supposedly neglected by the marketplace.

If you are one of the lucky cigar-munchers who realized that this brand is a steal and bought a box or two before they sold out, my hat goes off to you.
