Bdawg says:  This is a limited edition cigar.  I am a fan of Camacho, especially the Triple Maduro, and was anxously looking forward to trying this one.  I was unfortunately a little disappointed.  Per Camacho's website: The New Camacho BLACKOUT Limited Edition 2013 utilizes tobaccos from 4-different years. Wrapper grown in 2006, Binder from 2009, Fillers from 2003, 2008, 2009.  The rolled cigars were then aged together another 2-years, when the marrying process is normally just a few months.  

The wrapper was deep dark blackish brown, oily, and veiny.  The draw was easy, creating extreme amounts of smoke.  The flavor is intense, strong, earthy, a little dirty and harsh for my liking.  The burn was slow and even.
