Cameroon - Thumbs Up? or Thumbs Down?

[mauied1101]

Love the Perdomo Cammies. Love the Oliva Cammies. And I just got bombed with a bunch of cammies I haven't tried...

[mphilipp]

I have tried the Fuente cammies and love them. I did have a CAO once but it was early in my cigars tastings and can't remember. I will have to try the camacho as posted above.

IMO the Oliva Serie G is a wonderful smoke.

I like the Oliva and IT but absolutely love the LFD Cabinet Cameroon but only in the lancero size, the other sizes just didn't do much for me.

was just gonna make a thread about this, but didnt think anyone would agree. in the past few months ive had a c.com cameroon, oliva serie g and a fuente short story, cant say i really liked the flavor profile of any of them

[BadMormon]

Well I only had a couple--CAO L'Anniversaire and Upmann. I thought the CAO tasted funny. Just didn't suit my taste.

Given the amount of tobacco in a cigar, does anyone else really notice that the wrapper plays that vital of a role in overall effect?

I couldn't tell a clear difference in the Upmann I tried, vs. regular Upmann, but I thought the CAO L'Anniversaire had a distinct flavor. I assumed it was because of the Cammy wrapper.

I've tried two: the CAO and the Olive Serie G. Love the CAO, indifferent about the Oliva. So, I guess I'm on the fence until I try more of them.

i'm a huge cameroon fan. but only early in the day. they just go so well with coffee. there's definitely been a few turd cameroons though. just like any wrapper really.

I love a Cammie when I want the cigar to be mild but flavorful. I love the Torano 1916 with a cup of coffee. A Belmore Cameroon Selection with Dalmore Cigar Malt they seem to accompany the drinks well.

Camacho Select, Oliva Serie G, Oliva MBII, and H. Upmann Vintage Cameroon. 4 of my favorite smokes, and I did not like camys till I tried these 4.

I'm with the guys that voted for the Fuente Hemingway's, the LFD Cameroon Cabinet's, and even the Camacho Select, which is an especially good morning cigar.

[lifeslittleobserver]

Just finished the Carlos Torano 1916. Didn't do that much for me. I think the Oliva G Cammie is tastier.

[cigarsmoka-cl]

Can't say I don't like 'em! Not bad wrapper when they are good quality

If I were to make a list of my favorite cigar wrappers, Cameroon would probably not be in the top 5. That said, it is no surprise that the list of Cameroon wrapped cigars I do enjoy pretty much match those listed by the others who replied to this thread - Hemingway, Don Carlos, Oliva Series G, and the H. Upmann Vintage Cameroon. None of these have ever disappointed. Another one I think is an excellent cigar is the Cuesta Rey Stanford's Cameroon Reserve.
