The newest release under the Camacho Master-Built Series is the Camacho Powerband, The cigar is described as an intense, adrenaline-fueled cigar experience inspired by the power, performance and acceleration associated with a classic V-twin engine, built to galvanize a brotherhood of freedom seekers.

We can all remember the time we had our first cigar. For my it was in Brooklyn, NY and that cigar was a Macanudo Robust.

The day of The Cigar Authority broadcast they toyed with coming up to New Hampshire to do the show. However, with an event that evening at my old stomping grounds in NYC, the logistics just didn’t work out. It wasn’t for the lack of effort as they even looked into renting a helicopter […]
