Press Release: Camacho Ecuador Coming This Month

May 12, 2014 (Pinellas Park, Fla.) — Camacho, the worlds leading brand of bold cigars, is proud to introduce the all-new Camacho Ecuador; an intense new flavor experience born in the foothills of the Andes Mountains.

The Ecuador Habano leaf is one of the most storied tobaccos in our arsenal, a wrapper unique unto itself in color, texture and aroma. Grown in the rugged and nitrogen rich soils beneath the towering Andes Mountains, a majestic region where tobacco growing first took hold thousands of years ago. Ecuador Habano is one of the most versatile wrapper leaves in existence, opening the possibilities for our master blenders to experiment and drive the boundaries of flavor to new heights.

This dynamic new blend features an earthy Brazilian Mata Fina binder, a pair of powerful high-priming Honduran tobaccos, along with Dominican Pelo de Oro ligero for the filler. From the blast of pepper to the hints of floral and citrus throughout, this cigar delivers a wide range of complex flavors.

The all-new Camacho Ecuador is a medium-to-full intensity smoke available in (5) popular formats: Robusto (50×5), Toro (50×6), Churchill (48×7), Figurado (54x42x61/8) and Gordo (60×6). Suggested retail for the new Camacho Ecuador starts at $6.80 per cigar.

To complement the launch, Camacho is offering a new limited edition ashtray previously available only at Torch It Up tour events. The limited edition ashtray comes in a premium leather gift box and holds up to 10 cigars. (Suggested retail: $200)
