Visually, the Southern Draw Manzanita is covered in a reddish mocha brown wrapper that exhibits not only plenty of oil, but also a number of protruding veins. In addition, the cigar is slick smooth to the touch and extremely firm when squeezed. The aroma from the dark wrapper is a combination of strong cedar, raisins, leather, sweet manure, earth, barnyard and hay, while the cold draw brings flavors creamy cedar, bourbon, earth, raisin sweetness, dark chocolate, generic nuts and a small amount of musty mushroom.
Length: 6″
Size: Toro
The Look: Packaged in an eye catching black and teal box, the Camacho Ecuador BxP sports a darker wrapper then the original release, although this is hidden as the cigars come packaged in tubes which are visually stunning. The cigar is firm to the touch with no voids of tobacco and a well packed foot.
The Notes: The cold draw serves up a distinct note of anise and a taste that reminds me of a biscotti with a subtle hint of lemon rind. The aroma off the foot has more biscotti sweetness with some subtle tobacco aromas.
