Baccarat ‘The Game’ Rothschild

A part of the Camacho Cigars’ core line, Baccarat ‘The Game’ has become a staple for mild cigar lovers. The burn is razor sharp and the construction is nearly flawless. To start, “The Game” is filled to the brim with Havana seed Honduran long leafs, uses a Mexican Dulce leaf for a binder, and finishes off with a Honduran grown Connecticut wrapper with a sweetened cap. When smoking, you will find the core flavor of coffee with notes of earth, nuts, and due to the sweetened cap, a touch of sweetness with each puff. With a rating of 89 from Cigar Aficionado, Baccarat ‘The Game’ is perfect for newbies and veterans alike. Try yours with a rich espresso to enhance the coffee flavors.

Honduras has been a tobacco growing and cigar manufacturing area for hundreds of years, but it was the Communist revolution in Cuba that really put Honduras on the map. In the 1960s, many Cuban cigar makers fled their homeland and arrived in Honduras to re-establish their way of life. The immigrants took advantage of the climate, soil, and geography, which were well-suited to tobacco growing, and began producing high quality cigars. The center of the Honduran cigar industry is the city of Danli and the nearby Jamastran Valley. The majority of the world’s pure Corojo tobacco is grown here, now that Cuba has stopped production of this iconic, spicy, and rich variety in favor of Corojo hybrids. Other important areas of Honduran cigar production include the Talanga Valley, Copan, and Trojes.
