Camacho 1962 Pre-Embargo cigars

[heavyd]

I smoked one of these tonight and it was great. I wonder about the claim by Camacho that they use Cuban tobacco in the blend. Wouldn't they have to have a heck of a lot of pre-1962 tobacco to make a production cigar?

The one I had tonight was very tasty, but I didn't detect any resemblance to cc's. Does anyone know what Cuban tobacco Camacho uses for this blend?

The general consensus is that the amount of legitimate pre-embargo tobacco in these is basically... dust. That said, the wrapper used on these is really nice, but I can't remember the specifics at the moment.

I had some of these last year but sold or bombed alot of them away. An expensive cigar that really doesn't warrent the price tag IMHO. It is a nice cigar but nothing like a cc which I think fools the public through it's advertising.

Don't forget all of the Libertys with their pre-embargo tobacco...

I agree on the price, although I just bought it as an add-on to a box of Tats that I got from Cbid. I think it was $9 or so. I would buy again if they were 6 or 7 bucks.

Great cigar, very similar to liberties. I grab em once in a while on the discount sites. Cuban tobacco? Doubt it.

I saw somewhere ense thay these were very good, but at 20 a stick I wont be finding out. If I can find them for like 9 a stick which seems possible on cbid then maybe.
