About Camacho Connecticut
Camacho introduced its Connecticut line in mid-2009, and a 2012 company press release pitched it to milder smokers as a medium-bodied option. In halfwheel’s 2013 report on the brand’s repackaging, it got orange-and-mustard bands and was grouped with the Criollo as the least intense of the lineup.
Pairing and Storage
Camacho itself called this blend medium bodied in 2012, and for that strength our cigar pairing guide points to coffee or espresso, bourbon, or a balanced red such as Rioja.
