The Camacho Toro Box Press Connecticut is a brand that originated in Honduras but was acquired by Davidoff in 2008. These cigars are usually displayed in most Davidoff stores and from a glance at the prices in the humidor they are promoted as more a wallet friendly option compared to high priced Davidoff expressions.
This cigar is a nice light smoke with notes of roasted tobacco and almond nuts. It is a lighter smoke and has no bitter taste in the mouth after the draw or exhale. Overall, it is a good smoke but a little too light for my taste preference. This would make a good hot weather or breakfast smoke.
Box press is a type of style of cigar which is squarer than the traditional round you normally see. The history is unclear and up for debate on when it started and who was the creator. Using some logic, I would guess it was a combo of marketing a cigar in different shape and maximizing space in a box. Hence the name “box press” because it looks like the cigar box created the shape. Personally, I find the best cutter for this style of cigar is a bullet.
Priced around $10-12 per cigar and worth the price if you like a lighter smoke.
