I believe it changed hands in 2008. Check out my thread about the big brands for several poster's thoughts on Camacho. I haven't smoked one with the big band yet, but there is a Liberty that will soon meet its maker sporting the new band.

The only neon colored Camacho I have tried is the triple Maduro, mainly because I remember reading somewhere that the triple was the only Camacho that wasn't going to be reblended.
Here is my amateur review that I posted here in Nov 2014
Resting for 7 months at 66/67......figured it's time to try this release.
Nice wrapper, tight seams, one barely visible vein.
Canon feels heavy, and is tightly packed...........too tightly I'm thinking.
V-cut = draw too tight.
2nd V-cut perpendicular to first.....draw a bit looser.....but still tight.
(Forgot to sniff it, or check for double/vs triple cap)
Toasted up well, but draw was tight.
Initial flavors are very very similar to the original Camacho Triple Maduro, heavy, thick, oily maduro flavor, and I like that.
No real transitions of any kind that I noticed, but that dang tight draw probably didn't help that.
Burn was good........very slow as you might expect.
Smoke output somewhat less than I'd expect.......again a factor of the draw issue.
At about 1/3 of the way in, I finally gave in and grabbed my poker.......it helped a little.
Finally, during the last 1/3, the cigar opened up, and this was the best part.
The original triple maddie is one of my favorites, and I stocked up (as many did) when word got out that things were going to change at Camacho.
This cigar tastes good enough to fill the void when I ultimately run out of the OR.
I just hope they're all not as tight as this one was.
