Alright my fellow cameroon buffoons, time for part V of this quest for the best. (and I can even rhyme while writing it...). I had been lazy and not put up the review and then praised this stick on another thread and, of course, Moro called me on it:smokingbo. So without further ado...
Up to bat this time around was the La Flor Dominicana Cameroon Cabinet (thanks to jgaeta for this one!).
Construction: The cigar I smoked was a 5x50 robusto and had a great leathery wrapper with some inconsistencies in the color but beautiful medium brown nonetheless. Not much in the way of oils but still nice and firm with a little give to the touch. The draw was PERFECT, i mean spot on perfect. The burn was also perfect and stayed razor straight the whole time.
Flavor: Okay so here's the interesting part, I'm having to do this by memory because I was so struck by this smoke (and the weather) that I basically said f*** my little black book, I'm going to enjoy the hell out of this one (luckily I have another one thanks to Zen Cigar Man). What I did pick up was the expected sweet spice, but with more kick. According to Zen Cigar Man, this one has some ligero in it which would explain the extra oomph. Personally I think this is great since Cammies have a reputation for being mild smokes. Although it had oomph, it was smooth as butter and keep on right until I burned my lips on the nub. A also detected some nuttiness for the first third which then morphed into earthiness and some dark chocolate which then morphed into peppery spice for the final third. I know there were more flavors but there was so much going on with this stick that I couldn't pick them all out.
Overall: Wow, what can I say about this stick except that it was an extremely pleasant surprise. I enjoyed this one even more than the La Aurora Preferido robusto and in all honesty I'd have to say that this is the best cigar I've smoked so far this year. I actually like it so much that I'm currently trying to track down a few more to enjoy when I'm not in the mood to be let down by a cigar. When you factor in the price at around ~$7 per stick it only sweetens the deal, especially for an ass broke college student like myself. :smokingco. My only regret about this cigar was that it burned pretty fast and ended too soon! When factoring in the draw, burn, flavor, and cost I do not hesitate to give the LFD Cameroon Cabinet robusto a 9.3/10 Thanks for reading guys!
