The list is growing... but here goes:

La Aurora 1495 Corona (sells itself)

A good list, but the standard La Aurora 1495 is an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper. A tasty cigar

They also offer a sampler of the 1495 that does have 4 other types of wrappers -- one which is cameroon.

AF Hemingway and Don Carlos, and the AF 858 -- the only AF green label that I really enjoy

I thought I was the only one who thought cameroons left a weird sensation in my mouth. I don't know if I'd describe it the same was as that but something strange goes on. Anyone out there have a good way of describing the flavor profile of cameroon? All I can ever think of is a floural type of spice or something of that nature.

My favorite cammie is a Hemingway Classic or Signature . Didn't care for Oliva G at all . I have some new cammies to try but I always end up going back to the hemingways .

Perdomo Reserve.

All this Cameroon talk made me look for one today. Found a Don Tomas Cameroon Collection Rothschild. It was good enough for me to get a 2nd one for the road.

My current faves:

AF Hemi
Torano 1916
H. Up Vintage Cam
Oliva G

Last night I had an Alec Bradley Trilogy Cameroon Baron. Picked up a 5'er cheap at the devil site. Not a bad everyday cammie: well constructed and a nice Cameroon twang.

Yes on the AF Hemingways, add:

Maria Guerrero

Had an AF Don Carlos #4 last night and it was excellent. Got to be one of my favorite cammies.

Leon Jimenes Serie 300 by La Aurora

This is a WAY underrated stick. Very tasty. Better than any Hemingway i've had IMO.

groogs · 10-29-2008, 10:50 PM

I had to go with the La Aurora Preferido. It is pricey, but it is one of the best Cameroons I have had hands down.

I had my first CAO Cx2 last night. Oh wow!

Nice.

One of the most underrated cigars especially for it's balances of flavors...

La Flor Dominicana Cameroon Cabinets
(esp. the Lonsdale for wrapper ratio)

no bands, sold in 50 cabs, good price point = under the radar

also, hemingways
(I don't know why I can't get into Don Carlos')

I've always liked Cuban Crafters Cammy.

Pat1075 · 11-03-2008, 10:36 PM

Of all time the camacho 2006 liberty, but my favorite thats fairly easy to find would be the cuesta rey stanfords churchill.

sofaman · 11-04-2008, 05:25 AM

Mine would have to be Don Carlos #3 and LFD Cameroon Cabinets

CigarmanTim · 11-04-2008, 05:43 AM

Don Carlos #2

mikey burr · 11-05-2008, 08:57 PM
