Triple Maduro: A Too-Macho Camacho?

There's really only one word to describe the Camacho Triple Maduro (robusto): Strong.

Strong, flinty, nearly corrosive in power and in no way subtle, in fact bordering on the hayish and metallic at some points. But a satisfying bomb-blast of a smoke, if that's what you're in the mood for. Not quite what I was expecting given the high price, and falling just short of the complex quality I've come to expect from Camacho.

This cigar's flavor is so ragged and raw that I suspect a few months of humidor aging would improve it vastly. As it is now, the Triple Maduro lacks the Grade-A meaty richness that most Camachos develop and hold after the first inch.

If you want a strong, somewhat shrill blast from a cigar that's a little green around the edges, you will love the Triple Maduro. Otherwise buy it and hold, the Warren Buffet way. After a year of rest, this stock will likely perform much better, and might actually earn itself the 10-plus dollars you paid for it.
