Cameroon Cigar Delema

[Donk]

Here is a question for the brothers,

I am turning into a Cameroon whore. Only problem is, is that I am so stuck on Don Carlos as the standard for a good cameroon cigar that a lot of the others just don't stand up. So does anyone have any ideas on a stand in for Don Carlos? Give me 5 of your top cameroon choices.

 

[Donk]

uh, really no one has a list of favorite Cameroon Cigars?

 

[jmatkins]

Well one i do smoke is the CAO CX2. I do not know how it will compare to the DC but I migth have some to send you to try. Also try C.A.O. L'Anniversaire Cameroon
I am out of those.

 

[Donk]

I've had both of them, and the Cx2 is good, but it seems to not have a very spicey toothy wrapper.

 

[jmatkins]

Also Camacho Select. That is all I have as of now. As of late I smoke more Maduro's and Nic blends.

I am not big on Cameroons, the DC and the La Aurora Pref Cam Lanceros are my 2 favorites I can think of...

 

[jmatkins]

Sorry forgot about La Aurora they have some as well.

IMO, NO Cameroon comes close to a Don Carlos. Except maybe a Hemingway!

What about a Oliva?

 

[Anthem]

La Flor Camroon Cabinet and Ashton Heritage. Even the old monte V adn VI if you can find them.

I forgot Hemingway was a Cameroon, they would definitely make the list.

I've been enjoying the Torano 1916 Cammy and the Don Tomas Cammy perfecto #1. Neither would be on the "level" of what you are looking for.

also not in same class as don carlos, but i've come to really enjoy H. Upmanm Vintage Cameroon

-La Flor Cam Cabinet
-La Auroora Preferido cameroon robusto
-Perdomo De Silvio 'Grovy' & Est Res 'tubos'

 

[njstone]

All those mentioned, plus:
Oliva Series G
Gurkha Class Regent Nepalese Warrior
Perdomo Reserve Cameroon

I've been pretty into Cammies lately. Price aside, the Torano 1916 might be my favorite. But for a fuller body, try the Perdomo--probably costs 1/2 or less than the DC!

 

[Soundwave13]

The Cam NUB is pretty good too..

 

[Moro]

The Cam NUB is pretty good too..

I was wondering wether the Cammy NUb'd come out. Bloody good cigar as well.

 

[njstone]

Cool, I've got a NUB Cameroon 464 waiting for me to try, been looking forward to that.

 

[Moro]

Ye'll enjoy it, trust me. And be able to do the NUb stand, as well!

 

[Brazilla]

-La Flor Cam Cabinet
-La Auroora Preferido cameroon robusto
-Perdomo De Silvio 'Grovy' & Est Res 'tubos'

Those are the 3 I'd suggest in that order. Then go back and smoke the LFD again. That's my favorite.
