Best Cammy Smokes?

[PaulHag]

Ok so recently I've grown a very strong liking to AF Hemingways. Had a Short Story and a few signatures this past week and they have obsolutely become one of my favorite smokes ever. I have yet to try any Partagas @ my local shop.. and knowing they are cameroon wrapper i thought maybe i'd grow partial to them as well. They have the Robustos and the #1's, which are the longer and skinnier corona like ones ( sorry if im incorrect on any of this im a noob in the cigar talk world) Would i just be happier with the Hemmy's or do Partagas have something different to offer. They also have a few Partagas Limited Reserve, the green wrapper ones. Whats the difference and which would be ideal. Thanks in advance i've learned a ton from these forums before i registered and now that i post here i plan to learn alot more.

You may also want to try the Carlos Torano 1916 Cameroon if you haven't already.

Shop doesnt carry them or i would

alec bradley makes some nice cigars, and you could try the:
Trilogy Native Camaroon (yes, the triangle pressed cigar)
Trilogy Ovation Camaroon

i'm not a camaroon fan, but a lot of guys love the Torano 1916's (of which your shop doesn't have, you said already, so why i added, i don't know).

What DrstDog said. I would also include HdM Excal.1066's and of course Paratagas #1's Any one of these 4 would provide you a nice smoke If you like Cameroon wrappers.

Enjoy

Had a few of the Don Thomas Cameroon collection perfectos and liked them.

I'll second the Hoyo de Monterrey Excalibur 1066. Nice cigar.

The Partagas Limited Reserve doesn't have a Cameroon wrapper, I don't think, but the regular Partagas line is quite good.

Here's a few more.......

1. Bauza
2. Carlos Torano 1916 (already mentioned)
3. Vegas de Fonseca
4. Maria Guerrero
5. Astral Cameroon
6. Don Tomas Cameroon Collection (already mentioned?)
7. Montecristo Afrique
8. Montecristo Serie V & VI
9. H. Upmann Vintage Cameroon
10. H. Upmann Cedar Aged Cameroon
11. Casa Blanca Reserve Cameroon
12. Cusano Killer Cameroon
13. Indian Tabac Cameroon Legend
14. CAO Cameroon
15. Red Dot Cohiba
16. Partagas Serie S
17. Troya Cameroon
18. Flor de Oliva Grand Cameroon
19. La Aurora
20. Baccarat Dominican
21. Arturo Fuente

I'm sure I am missing several, but that ought to give you something to go on.

Hope this helps.

KansasHat has a fine list above let me suggest a couple more:

Have smoked:
Arturo Fuente Don Carlos
La Flor del Caney
Licenciados Cameroon
La Aurora Preferido Platinum Tubos (Cameroon)
La Unica Cameroon

Heard about:
La Tradicion Perdomo Reserve Cameroon
Casamontez by Perdomo
La Luna African Fuerte

I totally agree with KHat on saying that the Domestic Partagas line isnt all that, but my personal favorite cammie is the:
LA Aurora Anos 100
also try:
HDM Excallibur
AF Don Carlos
Carlos Torano 1916
FDO Cameroon
Indian Tabac Cameroon Legend (KHat gifted me one and it was excellent!)

[Uniputt]

A coule that weren't mentioned:

Cohiba DR. My wife loves these in the small "paqueno" size, from the tin.
(Theya re actually pretty decent!!! I like them, too!)

Perdomo Reserve La Tradicion Cabinet Series.

CAO Cameroon.

All of these are exceptional choices. But I have to tell you, that 1916 Torano (Robusto size) mentioned a few times above is wonderful. It never ceases to amaze me. What a great smoke. it doesn't cost very much, but men, it sure does taste like it. I'd have to say that it's one of the best values out there right now.

If you're shop doesn't have them, you can't go wrong picking up a 5-pack from an on-line vendor. (Especially since they are so inexpensive). Heck, if you don't like them, you can send them to me.....I know just how to get rid of them.

So far as I know, the La Aurora 100 Anos are Dominican puros. I believe the wrapper is Dominican-grown corojo. A very good cigar, but not a Cameroon.

Your other recommendations are all very solid smokes IMO.

The DT perfecto #1 blew me away... I tried it on a whim and LOVED IT... so I picked up a rubusto at my local shop and didnt care for it so much.

Still consider my self a noob though so who knows.

+1 on the Trilogy Ovation; it's the only cammy I've enjoyed.
The 1916 tasted like soap to me, and I didn't really care for the AF Chateau Fuente.
