Camacho Machitos Red (Corojo) Cigar – Single

The Camacho Machitos Red (Corojo) measures 4 inches in length with a 32-ring gauge, featuring a Honduran-grown Corojo wrapper. This cigar combines Honduran binder and filler tobaccos, engineered for concentrated flavor delivery in a 30-minute smoking session. The Corojo leaf’s natural oil content contributes to its combustion stability and spice-forward profile.

Flavor Development & Composition

Initial draws emphasize black pepper and cedar notes from the Corojo wrapper, transitioning into roasted coffee beans and burnt leather mid-session. A cinnamon sweetness emerges in the final third, attributed to the aged Honduran filler blend. Smoke density remains consistent due to the cigar’s compacted filler arrangement and tapered head design.

Combustion Characteristics

The Machitos Red demonstrates minimal touch-up requirements despite its narrow ring gauge. Its triple-seam cap promotes an unobstructed draw, while the layered filler leaves maintain a steady burn rate. Ash retention averages 1.5 inches before dropping, with a charcoal-gray coloration indicating complete combustion.

Suggested Pairings

This cigar pairs effectively with:

• Overproof rum (55% ABV or higher)
• Single-barrel bourbon aged 8+ years
• Cold brew coffee with cocoa nibs

The cigar’s intensity counterbalances sweet accompaniments like dark chocolate or caramelized desserts.
