Camacho Triple Maduro
Posted: Thursday, April 19, 2007
By David Savona
The newest cigar coming from Camacho Cigars is made
entirely from maduro tobaccos, a first for the cigar
industry. The Camacho Triple Maduro, which should be
on sale in about two months, is made from maduro wrapper,
filler and binder tobaccos.
The creation sprang from an idea from Sal Fontana,
Camacho's "consigliere." He and a friend had the notion
of a cigar made entirely of maduro components, which he
pitched to Camacho president Christian Eiroa. Eiroa said
he was initially skeptical.
"The idea was intriguing, but the problem was, How do
you blend a cigar where the wrapper, binder and filler is
maduro? I said it can't be done," Eiroa said. Fontana persisted,
and Eiroa went to work on blending the cigar with
his father, Julio.
