Camacho Nicaragua cigars are handcrafted in Honduras by Davidoff from a complex blend of Dominican, Honduran, and Nicaraguan tobaccos beneath an Ecuador wrapper leaf. It's billed as a medium- to full-bodied blend that harnesses the wild flavors of Nicaragua with uncompromising craftsmanship, starting with the sweet, spicy and oaky flavours that define tobacco from this region. In addition to an impressive 94-point rating, Camacho Nicaragua has been named one of the Top 25 Cigars of 2020, recognized for its complex flavor profile that balances Nicaraguan intensity with traditional Camacho boldness.
Despite the Nicaragua moniker, the only tobacco from Nicaragua in the blend is part of the filler, with the rest of the filler composed of tobacco from the Dominican Republic and Honduras, and the cigar is rolled at the Diadema Cigars de Honduras factory in Danlí, Honduras. Camacho Nicaragua marries the bold Honduran tobaccos the brand was built upon—this time present in binder and filler—alongside Nicaraguan and Dominican fillers and an Ecuadorian wrapper leaf. This multi-national blend reflects Camacho's evolution under Davidoff ownership while maintaining the brand's signature bold character and commitment to quality construction.
A smoke that delivers full-frontal, all-out flavor that rewards you at every draw, the Nicaragua line represents Camacho's ability to balance complexity with accessibility. It's a cigar I would steer toward a more experienced cigar enthusiast, but it's one I would not discourage a novice from trying. It is enjoyable from every aspect and makes a great choice for smokers of all experience levels, although those with more seasoned palates will better appreciate all the beautiful twists and turns in the profile. Camacho Nicaragua pairs well with bourbon, scotch, or medium-bodied beer and is appropriate for any time of the day.
