A cigar I'd like to see.

Does this sound tasty to you?

A Cuban Cigar with a Cameroon wrapper?

opeyes:

A Cuban Cigar with a Cameroon wrapper?

Then how would it be a cuban cigar? :dunno:

 

[Cigar_Jack]

It wouldn't be a Cuban Puros.. Cuban Filler and Binder with a Cameroon Wrapper. I thought it would be an interesting cigar is all.

 

[Wasch_24]

May be a possibilty if the embargo is ever lifted. :dunno:

 

[Hambo]

Even if the embargo lifted I don't think they would start mixing for quite a while.

 

[The Prince]

I like my puros to be pure. No mixing the ingredients.

 

[Cigar_Jack]

Most other cigars are not Puros... I think Cuban Puros are in a class of their own.

*pulls out one of his Cubans, peels the wrapper of a torano 1916 and puts it around the cigar*

Hmmmmm.....

Putting a cameroon wrapper around your favorite cuban would be the easiest way to do it. Not sure it would be very effective as I think the filler, binder, etc. would over power the new wrapper. Maybe trying it on a milder cigar would give a better effect.

I've tried placing cuban wrapper on a Padron before but I didn't taste a huge difference.

this could be a new T.V. show......

Pimp my cigar.

Jesse, you should see if you can get ahold of some inexpensive MMs and see about trying that out. I'd be interested in hearing what the outcome was, though if I had to mix, I think I'd be more interested in what a good NC maduro wrapper would do.

 

[IHT]

not a fan of camaroons in the least bit, so, NO, i'd hate to see that combo...

A friend of mine was in Puerto Vallarta (sp?) this winter and picked me up some Cuban filler/binder, Mexican wrapper cigars from a local cigar factory. It wasn't the best cigar as the two flavors kind of clashed. About 2" in I pulled off the wrapper and was in for a tasty treat. The filler was definately Cuban and it tasted great. The wrap wasn't Camaroon but it gave me a glimpse into what Non-puro's would be like.

 

[Jwrussell]

So do you think with something other than the Mexican wrapper (but still NC) it would have been worthwhile then?

 

[Kurtdesign1]

Hard to say. The prototypical Cuban flavor is one which is so very unique when it comes to comparison w/ N/C's. I think if the flavors had time to marry it may make it's own very unique taste but until they start to become one you may run into what I noticed; two different and very uncomplimentary flavors in the same smoke. I'm sure like everything else, good compliments can be found among tobacco of different origins, I just think it won't be as simple as saying "a cammie wrap on a Mag 46 will be awesome!" *I just think there will have to be new cigars that take advantage of what both origins of tobacco have to offer. *JMHO though.

*what this means is that new blends of Cubans will have to be thought out that are complimented by N/C tobacco, just in case I wasn't clear.
