Nice reviews. I agree with most of your opinions here. I too didn't care for the cameroon at all and I'm a big cameroon fan in general.

Nice reviews, I also agree with your blue label review. I didn't particulary like this smoke either. Just a bad taste all around. I have read good things about the cuban label, I can't wait to try it. I might smoke it this weekend.

The nub cameroon that you sent me has become one of my favorites.

Glad to hear it man. I love turning a BOTL onto a new stick, that he likes.

I've gotta say I just smoked a ccom cameroon label and I really enjoyed it. It was medium bodied with a great draw and burn. The sweetness of the cameroon wrapper was a nice pairing with the hints of butter, almond, and slight pepper flavors. Of course every cigar is subject to it's smoker, but I really enjoyed this one and I am looking forward to trying out the rest of the ccom labels

It's funny. I've been a ccom customer for several years and I've yet to try any of the house blends. I have two brazillian labels resting now, but I've never ordered a whole sampler. I'll definitely have to try out the cuban label after the recommendations I've read here.

I had a similar experience with the house labels. My favorite was the cuban label. However, I really enjoyed the cameroon label as it came in second for me. Third would be the red label. I didn't enjoy the flavor of the Brazillian label nor the corojo label. I have since ordered a few more of the Cuban Label and the Cameroon label... I plan on enjoying the cameroon later this evening...

Does the Purple Label stack up with other good CT wrappers (Oliva, Nub, Rocky Patel)? Or is it a definite step below?

In my opinion, no. I like the RP and Oliva much better than the Purple Label. That was the biggest disappointment to me. I really thought I'd like the Purple label. I tried more than one before making up my mind too...

The last Purple Label I had (the one I got the favorable comments about the aroma) had about 8-10 months on it and actually showed a slight bit of plume believe it or not. Might have made a bit of a difference, or just diff strokes for diff folks? I don't think it gets lots of rave reviews, but most milds usually don't. Either way, it never hurts to try one. That's what i love about this hobby. If I try something new and didn't like it, what's the loss, right? Well, other than a few buck$ and a little bit of my time!

Oh yes. The NUB is the other connecticut I really enjoy.

Something I noticed on the Red. I just finished my last few a couple of weeks ago. I've had them for almost a year, maybe a bit less. I just got two boxes of them and lit a couple up over the last few days. I can tell you that these guys do get much, much better with some down time. With the two sticks I have had from the new box, I don't pick up much of the creamy sweetness I did with rested sticks. It is almost like a different cigar.

I smoked a brazillian label this week. Really liked the flavor for the first half, and the burn was razor sharp. It got a little bitter after that and I had to set her down due to time constraints. Crazy - the robusto took me over an hour to get through half the cigar. I couldn't believe it. I do tend to smoke slowly, but man this was ridiculous.
