From the beginning, Camacho cigars have stood for intense pleasure unleashed. These are badass everyday smokes. Full-coloured, all-American in style, these cigars effortlessly deliver full-frontal, all-out flavour – flavour amped up to heights that old-school cigars have never dared climb. If Camacho had a soundtrack it would be loud, loud enough to wake the neighbours and make big dogs howl.
The Powerband is part of Camachos' Master-Built Series, which includes the Camacho American Barrel-Aged and Camacho Triple Maduro. This medium to full bodied cigar features some interesting leaves which build the blend. Honduran Corojo filer leaves from the Ligero priming as well as another Corojo Ligero from Estelí, Nicaragua, and Dominican San Vicente Ligero, San Vicente viso and Dominican piloto have been carefully selected and is what gives this cigar its bold characteristics, with a Mexican San Andrés binder Ecuadorian 2000 wrapper.
This smoke starts of earthy with a prominent wood tone to it, as you progress into the first third subtle hints of sweet apple appear but don't stay for long. The second half sees notes of pepper which stay constant with this cigar and build towards the end, the hints of sweet apple appear every now and then to keep the palate interested.
The ending is oily and creamy, with tones of white ash on the cigar you will see this one off with the similar peppery and smoky wood tones from the start.
