Cameroon and cheap

I recently decided that CAMEROON wrappers are my favorite by a slim margin over maduro wrappers.

Anyways i'm looking for a nice cheap cameroon to make into an every day smoke, the things im looking for are the price (around $2 apiece) and the flavor, does it taste like a real cameroon. The benchmark for me is the CX2 so id like to get as close as possible to that as possible without shelling out a ton of dough.

Some blends i've been looking at: La Aurora Seconds, cigar.com cameroon lbl., indian tabac cameroon legend.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Re: Cameroon and cheap

Don Tomas makes some inexpensive cameroons that are tasty. They retail for $3.5 or so at most B&Ms, so you may be able to find the at a better price from online retailers.

edit: just checked CI

But the price seems a little high. I get 20 Belis for $45 at TPS in Bellvue, Ky.

Oliva Series G special G cameroon are awesome lil' sticks. They run about $3 each if you buy them in box quantity (48 ) .

Re: Cameroon and cheap

Torano 1916 Cameroon, if you like the CX2, then you will like the 1916.

Re: Cameroon and cheap

Arturo Fuente 8-5-8's can be had for 105/box off CI. My favorite thus far has been the Montecristo Afrique. 2.80 or so a stick if you buy the Decadent Dozen from JR. I'm a huge Cammy fan too.

Re: Cameroon and cheap

Cameroon Especial by Rocky Patel is definitely one of the better cheap cameroons. Some good responses from the BOTL. Everyone of those mentioned may do it for you.

Re: Cameroon and cheap

I've never had the Cameroon Indian Tabacs, but I am more of a Maduro fan and the Indian Tabac Super Fuertes are awesome. I would highly suggest the Indian Tabac Cameroons, they can be had for cheap on Cigarbid. If you don't like the bid process, these can usually be bought with the quick buy option.

I just thought I'd post this. I've never had them, but when I saw this post it reminded me of this special that came across the other day.
