Camacho Liberty 2021 September 2021 86
CG Rating

Written by Cigar Geeks Member: (tuck0411)
Pretty nice smoke, this one, the uneven burn and needed maintenance aside. Flavor for days and if I hadn't known I'd have sworn this one had more Nicaraguan tobacco in it given the spicy profile, but ... Read More

The Camacho Liberty 2021 was a bit of a disappointment given the high bar I have for the Liberty series. But that might also just be about resetting expectations about what the Liberties are going for... Read More

Overall experience was very good. For me the cigar lacked complexity but if Viaje's intent was a solid strong stick then they accomplished that. This is not a smoke for the casual or inexperienced s... Read More

Written by Cigar Geeks Member: Byron (Beegerply)
Overall I really enjoyed this cigar. Now the question is what was it. I think this was maybe a Nicaraguan filler, a Corojo binder with the wrapper being Nicaragaun. My guess would be a Camacho, not re... Read More
