Camacho Triple Maduro Toro Review

It was one of those evenings that beg for a bold cigar, steak hot off the grill, bourbon in the glass, and the deck lights flickering against a cool night. With the smoke from the grill still hanging in the air, I wanted something that could match the moment, something dark and unapologetic.

That’s when I reached for the Camacho Triple Maduro Toro. Marketed as the world’s first all-Maduro cigar, that alone makes this cigar make a statement even before lighting up. From first glance, you know you’re in for a ride: dark wrapper, hefty feel, and a reputation among cigar smokers for delivering rich flavors that don’t let up.

But does the Triple Maduro live up to its legend, or does it lean too far into brute strength without balance? Here’s my full breakdown.

Heritage & Awards

The Triple Maduro was a true gamble when it first launched under Christian Eiroa at Camacho. Before this, Maduro leaves were typically used sparingly, often just for the wrapper, to add sweetness, depth, or complexity. Building a cigar with all Maduro components was unheard of, and it could have easily turned into a harsh, overpowering stick.

Instead, it carved out its own lane. Today, it’s still one of the most recognized Camacho cigars, a regular recommendation in the cigar world for smokers who want bold flavor and something outside the status quo.

While the Corojo line leans on tradition and classic Honduran Corojo tobacco, the Camacho Triple Maduro was created to rewrite expectations. It’s dark, rich, and made to stand out in a humidor lineup of other cigars.

Appearance & Initial Impressions

The Toro is dressed in a dark chocolate–colored wrapper with an oily sheen and a rugged, toothy texture. Thick veins give it a rustic look, but construction feels solid in hand. The bold black and shiny silver band sets the tone,  this thing really does pop!

On the cold draw, there’s plenty of airflow, almost a perfect draw, with pre-light notes of cocoa, cedar, and a little sweetness that reminded me of raisin. Right away, it was clear this wasn’t just going to be heavy for the sake of being heavy, there was nuance here.

First Third – Chocolate, Spice, and Power

From the first light, thick smoke pours out, exactly what I expected from a cigar built for big moments. The flavor profile starts with dark chocolate, black pepper, and espresso, backed by a deep earthiness yet remarkably smooth. 

The spice hits on the retrohale, leaning peppery but not overwhelming. It’s full body right out of the gate, but balanced enough that it doesn’t bulldoze your taste buds.

The burn line was sharp early, the ash stacked up tight, and the overall performance was steady, we were off to a good start. 

Second Third – Espresso, Earth, and Subtle Sweetness

Moving into the second third, the Triple Maduro shows more depth. The chocolate note turns darker, almost like cocoa powder, joined by espresso and wood. A faint sweetness, like molasses or raisin, crept in, adding a little balance against the savory profile.

The retrohale kept that black pepper kick, but the intensity smoothed out a bit, letting the cigar’s complexity shine. Draw stayed open and consistent, and the smoke output stayed bold, coating the palate with robust notes.

Final Third – Strength to the End

By the final third, the cigar turned spicier again, with pepper and earth moving back to the front. The chocolate note lingered in the background, but the finish leaned more savory and wood-driven. It’s the kind of last act that lets you know this is no beginner stick.

The burn remained impressive with no needs for touch-ups throughout. This Toro carried strength to the nub, leaving a lasting impression that felt exactly in line with the cigar’s reputation.

Construction & Burn

Camacho has built its name on consistency, and the Triple Maduro mostly delivered here. The cigar was densely packed but never too tight, and the draw stayed smooth all the way through. Smoke output was full, with thick, flavorful clouds.

As I mentioned earlier, I didn't find the need for any touch-ups along the way which would not have been too uncommon with heavily fermented Maduro tobaccos. The overall performance made it easy to overlook.

Camacho Triple Maduro Toro Price & Value

At $10–12 a stick, the Camacho Triple Maduro Toro sits in that premium cigars bracket where expectations are high. For me, it delivered the kind of bold flavor and complexity that make the price worthwhile.

That said, it’s not a stick I’d reach for every day, it’s probably a bit too heavy for that, but it’s a cigar I’d keep in the humidor for the right nights: after a big dinner, at a bonfire with friends, or when you want to hand a buddy something that makes them sit back and say, “Wow.”

Final Verdict: Camacho Triple Maduro Toro

The Camacho Triple Maduro Toro is a cigar built for impact, it delivers thick smoke, dark flavors, and enough punch to stand out from the crowd of Maduro cigars. The combination of chocolate, espresso, pepper, and earthy depth makes for a memorable smoking experience, even if it isn’t the most subtle cigar out there.

For me, it was a bold, unapologetic cigar that knows exactly what it wants to be. And in that regard, it nailed it. If you’re new to Maduro, it might be a bit much, but for experienced smokers looking for strength and richness, it definitely earns its place.

Ratings Breakdown

The Camacho Triple Maduro Toro lands solidly in the “really good” category, bold, flavorful, and built to leave an impression.
