Camacho Spotlights Honduran Broadleaf with New Line Debuting in September
The Camacho brand is showcasing what it calls the “giant flavors” of Honduran broadleaf tobacco with its newest line, the Camacho Broadleaf.
The blend features a Honduran broadleaf wrapper, while underneath that is a Honduran binder and a filler that uses Honduran and Dominican tobacco. The company describes the blend as offering a medium intensity smoke with a “rugged and unapologetic flavor profile” that is marked by dark chocolate, espresso, creamy sweetness and earthy spices, while aromas of leather and oak add to the cigar’s complexity.
“I am thrilled with the amazing work our master blenders in Honduras have done,” said Edward Simon, cmo of Oettinger Davidoff, via a press release. “They created a cigar line which is not only excellent in taste, but also bold and fearless in attitude – exactly what our aficionados are searching for.”
The line is available in three sizes:
- Camacho Broadleaf Robusto (5 x 50) — $9.25 (Box of 20, $185)
- Camacho Broadleaf Toro (6 x 50) — $9.75 (Box of 20, $195)
- Camacho Broadleaf Gordo (6 x 60) — $10.50 (Box of 20, $210)
The line is produced at Diadema Cigars de Honduras S.A. and is scheduled to launch in the United States on September 7. It will be coming to Germany and Switzerland on September 15.

I strive to capture the essence of a cigar and the people behind them in my work – every cigar you light up is the culmination of the work of countless people and often represents generations of struggle and stories. For me, it’s about so much more than the cigar – it’s about the story behind it, the experience of enjoying the work of artisans and the way that a good cigar can bring people together. In addition to my work with halfwheel, I’m the public address announcer for the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks during spring training, as well as for the Salt River Rafters of the Arizona Fall League, the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury and previously the Arizona Rattlers of the Indoor Football League. I also work in a number of roles for Major League Baseball, plus I'm a voice over artist. Prior to joining halfwheel, I covered the Phoenix and national cigar scene for Examiner.com, and was an editor for Cigar Snob magazine.
