The CAMACHO Ecuador Gordo is more than just a cigar - it is an adventure.

The opponent: CAMACHO Corojo Gordo

On the other side of the ring is the CAMACHO Corojo Gordoa cigar that has already become a legend. It is the epitome of the "bold smoke" experience and has everything a true classic cigar needs. 100% Honduran Corojo leaves, carefully cultivated in the Jamastrán Valley, are at the heart of this masterful creation.

Aromas of pepper, cedar wood, fresh spice and the softer notes of cream, earth and roasted coffee combine to create an incomparable experience that pampers the palate. This cigar is not just strong - it is also refined, elegant and almost unsurpassed in its perfection.

A cigar test is subjective. The taste of a cigar is influenced by personal taste preferences, taste memories, the mood of the day, what you have eaten or drunk beforehand. Even the lighting in the room influences the taste experience. The flavor nuances described here therefore do not necessarily correspond to your own impressions.
