Camacho Coyolar Puro
I am ashamed to admit that I am thus far not man enough to finish this cigar.
The Camacho Coyolar is a powerhouse of Honduran long fillers, grown on the Coyolar farm. If you have ever wanted to try a true full-bodied cigar without shelling out major bucks this is one for you. $6 to $8 dollars will buy you one of these studs, and if you are able to finish it then count yourself a real cigar smoker. As with most full-bodied cigars it is ver earthy and spicy, but not so much that you won’t enjoy the flavor.
I have smoke the Padron 1964, GrayCliff Expresso, CAO Extreme, and Diamond Crown Maximus and none of them can compete with the power of this Camacho. The only cigar I have had that was as strong as this one is the Padron 1926 which I will review later.
If you are a new smoker I don’t recommend this cigar, but it would make a nice practical joke for that friend who is always bumming a stick and not finishing it. If you have been smoking for a while and want to test your stamina then this is a good place to start.

Juan, first you said that you have not smoked this cigar, and then you said that you have, comparing it to the ‘26.
Which is it?

That’s what I was thinking! But I figured that he started smoking it and wasn’t quite able to finish it.
In light of his recent post entitled, “I can’t compete with girls”, I’m glad to see that scott is not so macho that he can’t admit to being slightly overpowered by a cigar.
With this admission I’d say you’re making progress scott! Although I doubt we’ll see you in church with a toe ring anytime soon.

Jaun, I think that you are right. This cigar dosen’t have as much flavor as the others but it is a FULL body cigar. Very good for the money.

Church Dog,
Jaun is a great man with good insight on cigars. The real question is who is Scott?
Well, Scott is the Feminine alter ego of Jaun.
I hope that this helped you.

Hi i was looking on the net on how to smoke a cigarillo and can’t managed to get an answer.
I hope to get some help about it.
I’ve bought Neos cigarillo but have no idea how to smoke it. There’s no filter like a normal cigarette. May i know how to smoke this thing?
Your help is most appreciated!

I am not a cigarette smoker, but I do know the biggest difference between a cigarillo and a cigarette is the wrap, and the purpose. There is nothing special about smoking a cigarillo except you will smoke it considerably slower than a cigarette.
It is all about flavor with cigars and cigarillos and if you smoke it two fast it will burn hot and alter the taste. The tobacco, unlike a cigarette, is wrapped like a cigar. However, like a cigar you do not inhail the smoke from either a cigar or a cigarillo. The reason is that it is a much more potent tobacco. You can inhail, but I don’t recommend it. It is more about flavor than anything else.
That is why I would highly recommend spending a little extra on top notch cigarillo’s. Padron and Graycliff make excellent versions. Also Carlos Torano has some a little less expensive that are still very good.

The cigar is as good as something you can get for six dollars today. It isn’t all that strong, and it’s about what you could get for 60 cents in 1960. The cheaper cigars were then, the stronger they were
If you don’t want your kid to touch tobacco again, give him one of these
