Anyone have any input on these? A friend gave me a box for helping him with his computer (took me 6 hours it was really screwed up). Says their pure Corojo ( filler,binder and wrapper) supposed to be a powerhouse of a cigar. I'll try a few in a couple days and let you know my opinion. JonR

I have half a box of Camacho Corojo figurados from a box split lying asleep in the 'dor. Wake these monsters from their slumber at your own risk. I smoked one OTT. Wish I could remember what happened next. I think I lost a couple of days. (ò¡ó)

Among my favorite cigars ... I was turned onto these buy one of my local cigar dealers who said he thought them to be a cigar I would like, given the other stuff I've bought from him ... guess he's got me figured out pretty well, because I sure do like them.

I smoked one of these standing in line to get into the Indy 500. Good thing I was standing still, good thing I was waiting to sit down. Tasty tasty tasty.

Don't know much about the Diploma. Smoked a few figuarados -- strong! Not exactly the ideal smoke for a round of golf where the difference between a good round and a **** round is a bunch of six foot putts. I prefer the camacho corojo line to the havana -- construction is better IMO.

These are great cigars. Wish they would come up on CB. I don't think I've ever seen Camachos on here before.

I tried a couple of the camacho corojo nacionales and I enjoyed them. I didnt thik they were as strong as most make them out to be. Medium to Full bodied nice flavors, but they have a bit of harshness that comes and goes. I would buy again. If they are too strong for you try their havana line. Excellent cigars.

The Camacho Diplomas are in my top 5 smokes. They are the primo line from Camacho and yes, they are all corojo; extremely tasty and full bodied. I bought a box back in March and it's still cherry...waiting until Xmas to pass around a few; However, I'm going on a fly-fishing trip in early September so I may crack the pyramid before Xmas. The regular Camacho line, IMHO, doesn't even come close to the Diplomas. I have also noticed the price creeping up as more and more people discover these.
