The Cigar: Camacho American Barrel-Aged Toro (Adam has aged these in his humidor for 1233 Days!)
The Specs:
Wrapper: Connecticut Broadleaf
Binder: United States
Filler: United States
Country of Origin: Dominican Republic
Strength: Medium-Full
Size: 6" x 50
Shipping: US addresses only
Due Date: May 25, 2022
The Hype:
This cigar features an American-heavy tobacco blend and use of an ever growing popular trend, barrel aging, with filler tobacco being placed in Kentucky bourbons barrels for five months. Barrel aging is a very tedious and hands-on process. They are aging around 2,000 lbs of Corojo filler tobacco and rotating the barrels one leaf at a time every few weeks. Each batch takes a full five months to complete and requires constant attention to ensure the proper journey for this special tobacco.

Thanks again to BewareDaPenguin for providing the cigar on such short notice! And thank you to the reviewers.

Need a couple more brave geeks to step up and then I can get these boxes put together :smoker: per the description I've had these stored away for a while.

I'll take a stab at it if there is still space. Thanks for sponsoring on short notice!
Hey fellas...I just did the April Critique. I will jump in on this if you have trouble filling it. The Camacho brand is one of my favorites (profile, flavor and pricing), so I understand if you select others to participate and "become" a Camacho Fan..
