This 6×48 stick is derived from actual decades old pre-embargo tobacco from Cuba. Offering a medium chocolate wrapper with a spongy feel, closed foot and pigtail wrapper is shows minimal veins and good clean seams. With a burn time of only 1 hour, it imparts a medium-full body and full strength, giving a rush and buzz just an inch in to the smoke. Smoke output was voluminous after burning off the closed foot, giving rich smooth flavors. The first half showed a typical aged tobacco smoothness with a bit of mustiness and a good pepper zing on the long finish. At the half way point it transitioned to a creamy flavor and light leather, keeping the cream through the finish where the pepper joined in. Burn was wavy but it performed well all the way down with a draw just on the loose side. If you want these you must buy now while they exist. http://cigarobsession.com/2010/01/20/camacho-pre-embargo-cigar-review/ 0

Does anyone know how much of the pre embargo tobacco by percentage is actually in these sticks. I am trying to determine if there is enough of it to really get a good feel for what it was like. If it is down in the 5--10% range then this could just be all hype. If it is more than 50% there might be something worth experiencing here.0

I honestly think it is just a single leaf. Can't remember where I saw that but that's what I think.0

http://www.cigar.com/cs/forums/thread/42436.aspxAlex Svenson:These are great sticks. It is about 20% Cuban filler. However, the real treat in this cigar is the corojo wrapper that was harvested about 10 years ago. Camacho has some amazing wrapper and the wrapper on the PE was from their very first crop. They set aside a limited amount for special projects like this one. Sadly, this cigar will not be around much longer. We are running out of materials.0 -
