The Avo Regional South Edition offers comes in a torpedo format that the company says delivers both balance and complexity.
2020 makes the 18th version of the Camacho Liberty Series aimed a celebrating the history of the United States. This years version comes in a box-press gordo vitola. The blend uses four different primings of tobacco, all of which come from a single farm and single vintage. The tobacco was aged four years.
The Camacho Nicaragua is a totally new line focusing on tobaccos from Nicaragua “forged in the volcanic soil and expertly crafted for those with boldness in their soul. Starting with the sweet, spicy and oaky flavours that define tobacco from this region, Camacho Nicaragua is a distinctly complex blend that makes for a bold and unforgettable taste experience. A smoke that delivers full-frontal, all-out flavour that rewards you at every draw,” the company describes.
