Take heart if you are green with envy. Camacho availed itself of expatriate expertise and began producing its 1962 cigars to fill the void in cigar smokers’ hearts. The 1962 line delivers all of the richness of the originals. This is a medium-bodied cigar, setting it apart from the majority of the Camacho brand. Camacho Cigars tend to the robust and exuberant end of the tobacco spectrum. The 1962 offers plenty of flavor and complexity, enough to satisfy long-time aficionados. At the same time, it is not overpowering and will gain an enthusiastic following among novices.
The Camacho 1962 is not a simple smoke; far from it. The opening notes are leather or wood but shift quickly to a startling range of flavors. Peat, nut, and spice come to the fore, and then recede for a reprise of wood and leather. This is one cigar that is sure to keep you on your toes. You have to smoke a Camacho 1962 to understand.
As with all Camacho cigars, the 1962 is well-made and solid, without soft spots that will cause the cigar to come apart which is beyond annoying when you’re trying to relax and unwind. Camacho got the ring sizes right. The 1962 is available in a Corona, Churchill, Perfecto, Robusto, and Torpedo, giving you a choice when time dictates how much time you can invest in smoking a quality cigar. At an average price of $6 or so, you won’t have to argue with yourself when you add these to your humidor. |
