Camacho Broadleaf Robusto (5×50)
$9.25 – $166.50
Camacho Broadleaf is the newest addition to Camacho’s flavor packed line-up. A bigger and bolder smoke, sure to satisfy thrill-seekers. No corners were cut. The result is an oversized Honduran Broadleaf wrapper packed with giant flavor. Decades of expertise and Honduran craftsmanship converged to produce this bold addition to the Camacho arsenal.
Don’t let this dark, oily Honduran Broadleaf wrapper fool you, this cigar has a lot more going on under the hood than meets the eye. The diverse blend of tobaccos from Honduras and Dominican Republic, paired with a leathery Broadleaf wrapper, take complexity to a whole new level. Camacho Broadleaf is a medium intensity smoke, packed with dark notes of leather, pepper, and hints of sweetness throughout.

I am reviewing the Camacho Broadleaf Robusto as I am currently working my way down the first third. Right off the bat I’m trying to figure out the extremely bitter flavor that is literally taking over the inside of my entire mouth. It seems to be coming from the wrapper. Not sure if it’s the leaf itself or perhaps the glue substance that was used to keep the wrapper intact. Wow. It’s literally like chewing on the rind of a lemon. The flavor of the smoke is sharp but doesn’t seem to have an association with the bitterness coming from the wrapper. Aside from my initial observations, the cigar seems to be constructed nicely and I love the look of the band. The draw is not great though and at this early stage and I’m having to relight frequently. I am also noticing two perfectly centered air holes right down the middle of the ash which reminds me of machine-made cigars. Will be back in a bit with more…
Okay… halfway down the stick now. The bitterness has calmed down but is still present. There have been many relights. It definitely feels medium to full strength and I’m mostly getting a wood flavor. The smoke output has improved, although I am finding my lips pinching down on the nub pretty tightly in order to gather more of a solid draw.
I am almost down to the last third. I’m now picking up on mild caramel and coffee tones, which is nice in this later stage of the cigar. It seems that the wrapper and binder are burning pretty well together, but the filler has been struggling.
Finally, as I am approaching the final inch and a half left, the cigar seems to be performing at its best. And yes, the bitterness in my mouth is almost completely gone at this point which is relieving. I will have to try a few more of these in the next week to see if the experiences are the same as this first one.

Wow, that’s sounds like a rough experience. It’s also not what I’ve experienced with that cigar at all. It sounds like we should get you another one to try. I’ll chat with customer service to work on getting you one that will hopefully leaf you with a better taste in your mouth.

This is a good stick. I didn’t pick up quite as much chocolate flavor notes as Tim said it was. But it did come through in the second third. Had a few burn issues. Had to touch it up several times. Other than that the burn was great. Got flavor notes of almonds , chocolate, and a hinta cinnamon. Overall, I found this a medium strength cigar. Will keep some of these in my humidor.

Great burn, great draw, great flavor. Leather with a sweetness throughout. A small amount of spice in the background.

My first one, I didn’t think too much of it, but by the 4th one I realized it’s a new favorite for me. This cigar has great flavor. I’m glad I bought a box.

I’ve ordered two of these now. The first one had great flavor, but the draw and burn were the worst I’ve ever had on any cigar. This second one is still lacking in the draw. You have to puff strongly and sometimes 2-3 times to get a mouthful of smoke. The burn isn’t canoeing, but it’s rigid and rough. The cigar feels hot on my hand as I smoke it, but if you’re not constantly puffing at it, it tries to go out.
The flavor is the one thing going for it. It’s got a warm spice and chocolate flavor with a chocolate aroma. Flavor wise, this is one of the most unique and flavorful cigars I’ve ever experienced. I’ve not tried anything else quite like it and I think for the taste alone it’s worth trying. It’s not a perfect cigar, but the taste of it makes it worth smoking on occasion.

These were advertised as a chocolate bomb and they delivered. The chocolate notes came through nicely. The burn and construction were good. Definitely recommend.

Very good cigar. I loved the diverse flavors it has throughout. Mix of leather, chocolate, earthy/woody notes with a slight bit of pepper or spice. I would recommend to someone who wants to try a cigar with a good balance of sweet and pepper/spice . Only down side was the burn, many touch ups needed

I ordered 3 of these and all 3 had burn issues but the flavor was enjoyable. Lots of chocolate and a good amount of pepper.

I would definitely buy this again. Flavor was good burn was good, and worth the price.

I passed by this one at first thinking Camacho would have made it a nicotine bomb and would just make me ill. I went for it after reading it was medium strength and was pleasantly surprised. There is fantastic flavor in this blend. I got what I would describe as good baking spice along with some sweet cinnamon and cedar. It’s tough to put my finger on a specific description, but definitely a flavor that will keep me coming back for more. It almost has an amaretto after taste for me. Pairs very nicely with my Woodford Reserve bourbon. Very happy with my box purchase. The box is a keeper with its gorgeous glossy, piano-like finish. I think it’s my favorite from Camacho.

Flavor was great!
Sweet, bready, chocolate notes.
Made me think of being in a bakery with fresh bread and pastries all around lol
Although, the burn was crazy and had super flaky ash. Also had to relight in the second third.
I may try this cigar again one day but that will be WAY further down the line, if at all.
