This Geek Critique has been generously sponsored by BewareDaPenguin (Adam).

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.

The Reviewers:
Initially, volunteers should be Veteran status or higher and not doing the May review. This critique will be due by May 25, so please take into account your schedule and only volunteer if you are prepared to turn it in on time. If you are interested, please indicate so in the forum below and we will make the final selection.

Note[/i]: A reviewer who posts their review late will receive neutral feedback. A reviewer who does not post at all will receive negative feedback. There are always exceptions to the rule and a reasonable excuse for tardiness or a no show will be respected and thus not counted against the reviewer. Our sponsoring members and our administrators make the choice of who is to participate in any particular Geek Critique and can be better informed of their choices with this initiative in place.

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

I'll do my best to get these out quickly so they can re-acclimate before the due date, they should be smoking real good :smoker:

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..

Awesome sounds like they are arriving safely! The hitchhikers were "considered" for the review but Bruce thought the Camacho would make for the best review but I threw those in, in hopes to read some reviews on them someday :smoker: happy to get them there soon so they can rest and enjoyed with plenty of time! Thanks again to all!
