Was wondering if there is a Camacho (ISOM) version? I received a Camacho with a band that says Habano on it in a trade. I have done some internet research but to no avail. Thanks in advance for any information.

To my knowledge there is no Camacho ISOM.

No Camacho ISOM, as far as I know. The Habano part, well a Habano is a cigar made with all of it's tobbacco from one country, so the filler and binder must come from all Nicaraguan/dominican ....
you get the idea!!! Hope this helps.

You have defined a "puro" not a Habano. In it's correct useage a Habano is a Cuban cigar.

Camacho Havana series uses the same filler and binder tobaccos as teh Camacho Corojo cigar. As with the Corojo line, the specially selected vintage tobaccos give them their distinctive. These tobaccos are grown in the Jamastran Valley of Honduras, a region where perfect soil and ideal climate compare to Cuba's renowned Vuelta Abajo Region. The Havana line mellows the Corojo blend with the use a a Criollo wrapper. Criollo means native in Spanish, and the wrapper tobacco is also grown by the Eiroa family in the fertile Jamastran Valley. The result is a medium to full-bodied cigar.

Thanks for the information all - after some more research, also found out that the Havana on the Band is from when these were first produced, now the band says Jamastran. So this tells me that this cigar I have is well aged 😉

I believe "habano" reflects the use of genuine Cuban seed-grown plants from which the wrapper, filler, and binder are made. ??? Who has the cigar dictionary?

My bad, II stand corrected, didn't realise what I typed. You are correct Steve, I belive JD is correct in his statement, an habano has to be made of all Cuban tobbacco, but not necesarly made in cuba, like pre embargo tobbacco seeds planted and grown in another country. Although if that's the case, in my book it's not habano. But what do I know I'm just a lowley Canadi-an!!!

Camacho Havana: Using a Cuban-seed Criollo wrapper and Cuban-seed Corojo for the binder and filler, this cigar has more of a spicy, earthiness to it and it's slightly milder than it's siblings.
