Camacho Double Shock

Two wrappers are better than one.
Aficionados near and far are chomping at the bit to get their paws dirty with this blend. One of the most unique concoctions to come out in ages, this is a five country cocktail brimming with flavor. Instantly recognizable by its “dos capas,” or double wrapper, this puppy is as complex as they come. Hold onto your britches and get ready for the ride of your life with Double Shock Limited Edition by Camacho.
This is one medium to full-bodied, Honduran-made, diamond in the rough. Double Shock LE utilizes a barber pole wrapper style. The lighter of the two is a fan favorite Ecuadorian Habano wrapper, and a darker San Andres Maduro is twisted right beside it. To say this gem is aesthetically pleasing would be an understatement – this is a flat out visual triumph. A prized Criollo binder hugs long-fillers from Pennsylvania, the Dominican, and Honduras…If you’ve been counting, you’ll realize that’s five countries in one cigar. Notes of cocoa and coffee from the San Andres wrapper are accented by the sweet spiciness of the Ecuadorian Habano wrapper, with slight nuances of earth, leather, and oak making appearances throughout as well. The only downside to this masterpiece is the limited quantities that come along with a blend as unparalleled as this one, so jump on this bandwagon the first chance you get!
