The cigar: H. Upmann Vintage Cameroon Robusto

Nutritional information
vitola: 5x52
Country: Dominican Republic
Wrapper: Cameroon
Binder: Nicaraguan
Filler: Dominican/Nicaraguan/Peruvian
Humi time: 5 mos

Prelight: Very impressive, wrapped in its printed cedar sleeve (useful as a spill for those of you so inclined) with three gold and red bands. Sliding off the wrapper reveals a good looking Cameroon wrapper, medium to dark brown with some orange hues and some toothiness. Aroma of -- guess what? -- cedar! It has a solid feel and good prelight draw.

Construction/burn: Lit easily, burned straight, drew perfectly. Burned slowly a firm white ash flecked with gray, and it produced satisfying amounts of delicious cameroon smoke. Expect a good hour of smoking.

Flavor: Some cedar and spice at the start, settling into a medium-strength smooth, rich, mellow smoke by the middle 1/3. After the first third, that delicious cammie tang appeared and grew bolder through the last third. Medium in body, with a pleasant saltiness on the lips.

All in, this is clearly an above average cigar. A great choice for a reliable well built cameroon experience.
