One of the most anticipated sticks of each cigar year is Camacho Cigars' release of the Liberty edition. Following the micro-batch concept, Camacho releases a limited number of a sticks blended specifically for the year. Each stick is put into its own individual coffin-like box and numbered. From year to year the blend and design of the stick changes. Certain year editions are more sought after than others. As for the 2010 edition, I think when all is said and done, this one will be considered a winner.
For the 2010 edition, there were 40,000 sticks made by Camacho. There are two indigo bands on the stick, one toward the cap and another on the foot. Each year, the Liberty is only released in a single vitola. This year's cigar is in Camacho's trademark 11/18 shape - which usually translates into something similar to a Perfecto or Figuardo shape. This year's shape is a 6 x 56 that defintely leans more toward a Figuardo in shape. In a year where I feel Honduran tobacco took a back-seat to Nicaraguan tobacco in a lot of new sticks, I was glad to see a very good stick emerge with tobacco from Honduras.
