Oct 19th 2011 - Camacho Pre-Embargo

Today's cigar is the Camacho Pre-Embargo which only comes in a 6x48 vitola. The Camacho Pre-Embargo features a 1999 Vintage Jamastran Corojo Wrapper and features fillers that include authentic pre-embargo Cuban tobacco. The Pre Embargo is one of the greatest cigars I've ever had the pleasure of smoking. From the classic Cuban tastes to the light spice this medium bodied cigar is a pleasure. I chose this to be today's cigar because it was on this day in 1960 that President John Kennedy signed into effect the Cuban Embargo. While Cuban cigars are illegal in the United States the Camacho Pre-Embargo is fully legal to buy and mixes tastes of what cigar were like then and what they've developed into now.
