Earlier this year, the Camacho Factory Unleashed was announced as a new annual release of the brand. The cigar was rolled out with two different types of packaging. Brick and Mortar retailers received 100-count boxes, and retailers with an online store could also order 10-count bundles. A total of 125,000 cigars were produced at the Diadema Cigars de Honduras S.A. factory in Honduras.
The wrapper of the cigar is of a Colorado Maduro hue that is smooth to the touch. While the shaggy foot finish is nothing new, it adds a certain appeal to the look of the cigar. Construction is good, but a small gap is present in the filler, right underneath the band.

Camacho Factory Unleashed: the cold draw reveals a mix of wood and hay. Once lit, the cigar opens with coffee, leather, and hints of pepper.
As soon as the burn line reaches the wrapper, herbal and nutty aromas are added to the leather. The smoke is creamy, and the retrohale reveals white pepper notes. Strength is a solid medium (3/5).
The nutty aroma becomes the prominent flavor in the second third, followed by herbs and wood. The creaminess has vanished. Instead, a bitter undertone has appeared. There is also a light lemon zest present in the back, and the white pepper can now only faintly be made out. Strength remains medium.
The spice note, mainly black pepper, picks up significantly in the last third and takes over the flavor profile. Herbs, wood, and nuts can still be made out. The smoke becomes harsher, and the strength increases to a medium-full level (4/5).
Overall, the Camacho Factory Unleashed is a good and flavorful smoke in the first two-thirds but unravels shortly after. The spices cover up most of the last third, making for an unbalanced and harsh finish. That being said, some rest should hopefully round out the last third.
