This Contest Entry comes from Jim Euritt over at Cigar Live. Jim win’s a 5-Pack Camacho 5-pack and a Hat.
I picked this one up for about $4 a stick.
This is a fantastic cigar I highly recommend. It is very well constructed. I only have checked out this first one and letting the others age. It was very smooth and lightly veined on the wrapper.
Upon lighting it, the draw was very easy, the cigar itself was solidly rolled and I was surprised by how easy it did draw… it had a leathery taste and a hint of chocolate to it.. while it is supposed to be full-bodied either I am getting more conditioned to better cigars or this one was what I would consider more medium-full.
I could not put it down and actually had to mentally remind myself to let some time elapse between each draw… it was THAT good.
I am thinking of trying some of the other Bahias now that I have tried this one, but again I profess I am partial to maduros and this one I would not be hesitant or ashamed to give as a gift to anyone.
Even though I just got finished I am already tempted to pull out another and light it up…
It never turned harsh or bitter even as it got down to the nub though it did get a little stronger it by no means became less enjoyable…
I have read reviews calling it buttery (possibly) licorice ( I am not that discerning) and I would definitely give this a rating on the higher end of the point scale… 7.9 – 8.2 out of 10.
Update I have actually smoked 4 of the 5 pack and am getting to where I am eyeing another purchase. These ARE great little cigars!

I have tried all three. The Trinidad, Blue Lable and my favorite, the Bahia Maduro (Red Lable) I smoked a bundle each of the Trinidad and Blue Lable. They were good but imho the Red Lable is very enjoyable and my daily smoke. I have been getting mine bundles of 20 (54 x 7.5) from Cigars International for $39.95 + shipping. Hard to beat the these cigars for the price.
