Famous 70th Anniversary Camacho Robusto 5 Pack
"Real strong but delicious and well-constructed"
A real enjoyable smoke. Had a little trouble keeping it lit but I think that's just because it's strong. Not for beginners. It was my first Famous 70th Anniversary of any kind but safe to say it won't be my last. Am anxious to try more 70th Editions of different manufacturers. Well done.

Famous 70th Camacho Robusto
"What you'd expect from Camacho"
This cigar was nice enough if you like that charcoal flavor that seems to dominate Camacho cigars. It wasn't anything like the original Camacho Corojo's in dark natural that I absolutely loved but was a good cigar overall and would not disappoint Camacho fans.

"A great cigar except for the very uneven burn"
I've smoked two of these cigars and both had terribly uneven burn problems. The taste, flavor, and draw were as superb as one expects from Camacho.

"Good Smoke!"
I just had this cigar straight from the box on delivery. Once again Famous, nor Camacho dissapoint. Nice medium bodied cigar with a woodsy kind of flavor. Mine burned just a little uneven, but I smoked it outside with a pretty good breeze blowing. I'm sure with a little time in the humidor they'll be even better.

Famous 70th Camacho Toro
"Unfortunately harsh, disappointing cigar"
First, I love almost everything Camacho makes and second, I tend to be a tough reviewer so I hold off until I've smoked several cigars, often from different sources. I'd much rather write a positive review of a great product, but this isn't in that category. Like all Camacho cigars, construction is nearly perfect. Appearance is rich, dark and delicious. But this is a very different profile for Camacho and it doesn't suit me at all. I won a box of Toro's at auction, eagerly opened them and they looked mouth-watering! I lit one up and was stunned at how harsh, bitter and strong (not "full-bodied", just strong) it was. I let them rest, smoked one a week for the past several weeks and after 2 months, they haven't improved. Sorry, but for my taste, I can't recommend these. For comparison, the Camacho Corojo and Cayolor are among my favorites, and the Perdomo 70th's are excellent.

"Good job, Famous...it IS a Camacho!"
I bought these Famous 70th Camacho Robustos during a Cigar Monster special, even after reading one review stating how horrible they were. I cannot speak for that person, but, as one who enjoys Camacho cigars a lot, I'd have to say it ranks right up there with the regular Camacho brands. To me, with its Dominican/Honduran blend, it seems very similar to the new Room101...maybe a cross between it and the Camacho Connecticut, in taste. I did not find it overly strong, like a full... it was more like a stronger medium. The wrapper was tight and burned well with the typical Camacho draw, and the ash was firm, though it formed a cone every time I used the ashtray. I've smoked two so far...one with morning coffee and the other while driving, and have noticed no difference in taste. The regular pricing could be lowered a bit, though, IMHO, as this is not a Camacho "regular". All in all, however, I am pleased with my purchase. In the meantime, I'll just wait til they appear on Cigar Monster again!
