Cameroon Wrapper reccomendations
 

I've found myself enjoying a cameroon wrapper. I really like the AF Hemingways and the Aladino cameroon and would reccomend both.

I'd love to get feedback on other Cameroons, especially if anyones has anyone had any luck finding budget cameroons?

Tried any of these?
Perdomo Mistakes (only $5 a stick)
RP Vintage 03
Excaliber Cameroon
AJ Fernandez New World
Carlos Torano 1916 (on sale for $3.75 a stick)

I really like the Aladino Cameroon as well, Craig. The AF Don Carlos are probably my next favorite, along with the Hemingway line you mentioned.

I did not care for the Torano 1916. Reminded me of dirt.

I enjoy the RP 03 and the AJ New World. I haven't had a Torano 1916 in about nine years, so can't say how they are now. Back then, they were hit and miss. The good ones were great. Others...not so great.

I don't think I have dad a Cameroon since the days of Indian Tabac but did like them pretty good.

The local price point on the AJF New World Cameroon Toro size is good, so I keep some around.

It's been a while, but I have enjoyed many Hemmingways and Excaliburs. More recently I bought a couple of fivers of the Nub in Cameroon and they were nice as well.

In addition to another box of the Aladinos, I picked up the New Worlds and also the Nicaraguan Factory Selects Cameroon Toro from Famous.

I am very pleasantly surprised at the Factory Selects; they were less than $2 a stick on sale and smoke as well as or better than the New Worlds. Maybe even better because I'm not really a fan of the box press. Also, the FS was much better after some rest than fresh off the truck.

Ai wrote this for me and I think I agree:

It sounds like you're having a great cigar haul, finding the Nicaraguan Factory Selects Cameroon Toro surprisingly good for the price, offering great value comparable to or even better than the pricier New World Cameroon from AJ Fernandez, delivering balanced spice, sweetness, earth, and coffee notes with a great Cameroon wrapper for a steal.

Here's a breakdown of what you're enjoying:
Aladino Cigars: A Honduran brand known for rich, traditional flavors.

New World Cameroon (AJ Fernandez): A premium Nicaraguan cigar with a unique Cameroon wrapper, known for a balanced blend of spice, sweetness, wood, and coffee notes.

Nicaraguan Factory Selects Cameroon Toro: A budget-friendly option (under $2/stick!) that punches above its weight, offering a similar enjoyable experience to the New World, with great flavor for the price.
You're hitting on a great point: sometimes those "factory seconds" or budget lines offer incredible value and quality, rivaling their more expensive counterparts!

If you enjoy this profile, you might also want to check out the Oliva Factory Selects Cameroon when they go on sale, as they offer a similar "under the radar" value for Cameroon fans.

Enjoy your excellent finds!
