I love a Cameroon Wrapper
"Before snipping and lighting, I noticed that the Cameroon wrapper was beautiful, velvety smooth, and was slightly sweet to the nose."
Note from Cigar Jack: Would everyone please give a warm welcome to our newest reviewer, Clint.
Clint reviewed the Arturo Fuente Don Carlos Series Double Robusto from the DR. I'm not sure what the fuss is all about with the Cuban cigar? - The sweetness of the Cameroon wrapper and the quality of cigar from the Dominican Republic, causes me to question the Habana's desire. That's a different post for another time - Cuban v. Dominican. For our purposes here, the review at hand and the quality of this cigar:
My preference is the sweetness of the cigar I choose to smoke. Clint offers this:
"Hard to explain the “sweetness” in this cigar. Certainly not sweet like candy or sugar, but just an element not found in cigars normally. All along the sweet elements were very nicely tapered and subdued by a core of complex, strong flavors."
This is a medium bodied, medium strength robusto. Arturo Fuente is a Premium Cigar maker for sure; the cost is well worth the stick. Clint's review of the Don Carlos makes me wanna run out and fill the humi with anything Arturo Fuente!
So what were my other favorite haunts up to this week?
George E. at Stogie Guys does a Quick Smoke review on the La Princessa de Cuba Torpedo
This cigar is the latest cigar from Victor de la Cruz; George's review: "... this time with a lovely Connecticut shade-grown wrapper from Ecuador, has a warm, light tobacco taste with a delicate finish." George gives the cigar a "Buy Verdict".
