Cigar Review: Camacho Select Robusto
Thursday, September 18th, 2008
When the prize for the last contest was sent to me a few extras were in the box. One of those extras was a box of the new blend of the Camacho Select.

I was excited to get my hands on these seeing that Cigar Insider gave it a 94 rating.

So after work on Friday, I stopped as usual at my local cigar store and decided that I might as well pick one up. After all, it’s never too early in my cigar reviewing career to start taking requests, right?
