Camaroon!

Not all Cameroons are Cameroon, if you dig. Read up on the Fuentes and their use of Meerapfel tobacco, which is the true Cameroon leaf. That's the good stuff. The Fuente Don Carlos is hands down one of my favorite non-Cuban cigars, and it's the perfect blend for that leaf.

It was a sad day when the Ashton Heritage switched from a Cameroon to Ecuadorian Habano wrapper. I haven't smoked one since.

Edit: I was going to smoke a pipe today but I'm such a good salesman that I talked myself into a Don Carlos No. 3, my favorite vitola from the lineup!

I really love Camerons, they really are the best name you could ever give your kid. Camerons tend to be smooth, and well worth getting to know well.

Oh, CamerOOn! I haven't tried one of those yet. I've been resting a few of those

Yeah, I'm sure you've sampled your fair share of Cameron.

Cameroon and Sumatra wrappers can be really special...when they are the real thing.
But when grown in some other locations the qualities that the cigars wearing those wrappers lose some of their uniqueness.

I have a thing for the Oliva Serie G in cameroon. Like a sweet, slightly spicy smoke. Though not a big hitter for strength, it's very well balanced and right up there in my choice for smokes!

That's the perfect description of the Oliva serie G Camaroon wrapper cigar.
The Camaroon wrapper used the Latitude Zero Experimental cigars is sourced from Oliva.
Quality, construction of the Lat Zero Exp cigars is close to the Serie G Olivas, if you can find them, give one a try.

IIRC the Fuente Hemingway series in Natural are all Cameroon wrappers and I love them!

Haven't had the pleasure yet! Maybe I'll hit a B&M and try one over the weekend. Heard nothing but good about them.

Fuente Hemingway is my favorite, but the Nub Cameroon is good too.

Love the Nub Cameroon!!!

And if you want to drop a little coin the GOF Carlito is an awesome Cameroon! Haven't had one in a little while. Maybe I need to get a few again.

Heritage is one of the best cigars I've smoked. When did they change wrappers?

You should! Always a solid smoke.

Two years ago - maybe a bit longer. It took a while for quite a few retailers to run through their supply so for a while after the switch you could still find the Cameroon version on the shelf, but unfortunately that's not the case anymore.

When you try one of these,take you time smoking it, it does pay to smoke slowly,you will like it.
Should the Hemingway not live up to (your) expectations for how a Cameroon wrapped should smoke,you would more than likely be looking at a long time search for something that will.
As mentioned here a few times the Cameroon wrapper is indeed delicate,even it requires a bit more concentration to avoid smoking too quickly, it is worth that effort when find how good that wrapper can be.
That high quality Cameroon wrapper sure does let you appreciate all a good cigar has to offer, due at least to some degree, being smoked slowly.

Looking forwards to hearing how you like that wrapper.
