    I'm going to say its a Honduran puro. My guess would be a Camacho 10th Anniversary Corojo Torpedo.

    The aroma of the foot was indistinctive. The filler was nicely bundled looked a little loose and sort of resembled a cuban style bundle. The whole cigar was firm to the touch with no apparent soft spots.The cap on the torpedo was very nice and stout which reminded me of Camacho torpedo style cigars. I snipped off the first 3mm off the torpedo cap and the draw resembled the classic Camacho draw. The cigar lit great and the draw was nice and easy. The first initial draws from the cigar had a great amount of smoke and was peppery and earthy. The first half of the cigar was great and the flavor was consistant of leather, pepper and earth. Right around the first half the wrapper about 2.5" from the cap split. It didn't blow up and was still smokable. The flavor picked up a little more on the last half of the cigar and there was an uneven burn where the wrapper started to split. The ash for the most part was mildly firm and broke off nice and even. The burn never coned and was even throughout the entire cigar. The peppery notes were predominant throughout the cigar and smooth at the same time. I'm just about finished with the cigar, got about 1.5" left. There have been no major changes in the flavor to really change my decision. Hope I got this one!

    Sorry to burst your bubble there Rich. It wasn't a 10th Anniversary. It was just a plain 'ol Camacho Corojo.


    It's still a Honduran puro though! Congrats on the nice assortment of smokes that I lost.
