Cameroon Recommendations

Rocky Patel Summer Collection, well its a Cameroon binder with a Habano wrapper but I had to plug it. Have you had the Nub Cameroon yet? That'll be a good test of your wrapper theory

I second the Nub and Hemingway suggestions. Based on having tried just one of each Nub, the Cameroon seems to be by far the tastiest. I dunno if that's all due to the wrapper (which would tend to falsify my theory), or if there are filler differences, too.

That thing is massive, break my damn jaw trying to chomp on that.

If I had a nickel for every time I've heard that...

My $.02 is the Oliva G Cameroon. It's my favorite cigar. Smooth, med-bodiedwith fuller flavor.

urbino

I think I got one of those in my Oliva sampler, Andy. May just have to try it tonight. The maduro was excellent.

Bad Andy

I haven't tried the G Maduro yet. I smoked plenty of the cameroons though. I have had an O cameroon and aV also which was just outstanding. I will be trying more when I get home. What did you think of the Maduro?

kuzi16

in all reality the best cameroon that i have had was the Cx2. but dont look to me as the guy who knows this one. im not a huge cameroon fan. i also liked the nepalese Warrior, but what do you expect from a guy that gave the regent a 92. (the NW is the regent but with a cameroon wrapper. I gave it a 90)

Kuzi./ joe I love the CX2.. Good pick for a nice example of Cameroon cigars..

I can't believe I forgot to mention the Oliva Serie G cameroon... I've been plugging that cigar every chance I get it seems.

And I have about 4 left from my sampler...so tomorrows smoke while camerroon madness has me in its grip, and tonights is still fresh in the memory

Bad Andy

I'm down to one left here in the desert. I go home in 5 weeks so I will be grabbing a lot for my return. I can't go without thase again. Has anyone else had the Master Blend 3 from Oliva, it's a terrific smoke also.

I personally enjoy cameroons, and one that stands out for is the perdomo reserve cameroon. The stick has a nice chocolatey smell out the cello and burns very nicely.

A couple or three I like that you may not have considered:

Indian Tabac Cameroon Legend.  Nice flavor and excellent value. Got some on auction (Grand Robusto size) for $7 for a 5 pack

H. Uppman Vintage Cameroon - got a box of the petite coronas some time ago. It is a great cigar and usually runs about $90/box. I got mine on special for about $55 I think.

Gurkha Nepalese Warrior.

Smoke=Fire

All great recommendations guys. I have not had an H.Uppman in years, but used to enjoy their coronas, i may have to put a 5er on the list. has anyone tried the Torano 1916 Cameroon? I absolutely love their Exodus 1959, and so wonder if their other lines are as tasty. Too bad thier sampler is sold out

Smoke=Fire

And just saw that Cusano has a very nice looking Cameroon as well. Anyone sample that one? I may just call up C.Com and see what they can do for me in a Cameroon sampler. I wish they had samplers like this, tailored to a style instead of a brand.

madurofan

They used to have those kind of samplers, I remember they could never keep the maduro sampler in stock. I wonder what happened.

rdnstn

Yeah I remember those wrapper type samplers too. One thing you could do is the build your own sampler and use the feature where you can sort by wrapper type.

Scrambler

As mentioned, the Oliva G's are awesome. My buddy swears by the Don Tomas Cameroon Collection. It seems they are getting scarce, but at least some sizes can still be found pretty easily.

Is that the one that came with the CotMC in one of the two past months? I tried the Habano that came with that one on the 4th but haven't gotten to the Cameroon yet. If it's anything like the habano it should be quite tasty though.

After my cigar earlier today, i can recommend the Torano cameroon 1916. Quite a nice cigar that begs some more tasting.... a request i'll be more than happy to oblige.
