The Cigar: Camacho Criollo Robusto (5 x 50)

The Specs:
Country of Origin: Honduras
Wrapper: Honduran Criollo
Binder: Honduran
Filler: Honduran, Dominican

The Hype:

Camacho Criollo lives up to its fabled reputation of getting a whole lotta bang for your buck. Widely regarded as being "as close to Cuba as you can get," Camacho cigars celebrate a long and illustrious tradition of pleasing the most grizzled enthusiasts.

Criollo is a welcomed page in Camacho's book. Thanks to serving up a satisfying medium-bodied array of spicy-sweet undertones, there's a lot to look forward to. Featuring a gorgeous fourth priming Criollo '98 wrapper and a balanced blend of Honduran and Dominican-grown Piloto Cubano long-fillers, it's got plenty of gusto too, but without all the knee-knocking strength Camacho is known for. That means you can get behind the wheel of this handmade almost any time of day. As my feeble minded co-worker likes to say, "you can savor the flavor all day long."

Due Date: June 26th, 2017

The Reviewers:

Three (3) veteran or higher status reviewers, min 500 points and 10 reviews
Two (2) newb (less than 12 months on Geeks), min 100 points and 5 reviews

Note: A reviewer who posts their review late will receive neutral feedback. A reviewer who does not post at all will receive negative feedback. There are always exceptions to the rule and a reasonable excuse for tardiness or a no show will be respected and thus not counted against the reviewer. Our sponsoring members and our administrators make the choice of who is to participate in any particular Geek Critique and can be better informed of their choices with this initiative in place.

Thanks again to Emerson for taking this one on and providing the cigar. THANKS!! And happy smokin'   :cigarman:

Did one in March but if needed I will never refuse a free stick. :-)

Did one for June so definitely want to defer to the other vets.  If you can't find enough peeps I'm willing as well but definitely last of the last resorts.

I am also in the "I just did May but would be willing to write for cigars" camp.  If you need me I am willing, but would defer to folks who haven't done one yet.

It's been a few month's so if you'll have me I'll do it.
I am not concerned about what you think as I can tell you don't do it often.

I used to be a people person, but then people ruined that for me.
