Just finished this fine cigar. The only negative thing I have to say is, I wish I had bought a box of these instead of a single. Great earthy, cedar flavor from beginning to end, nice draw, no heat. Anyone else tried one of these?

Yes. I like them. Probably wouldn't buy a box, though.Quote:

anything wrapped in Cameroon is my favorite cigar. We have Stanford Newman to thank for that.
if you ever find any Cuesta Rey Stanford's Cameroon Reserves - buy all you can get your hands on. :smiley2:
...also try the Fuente Hemingway Signature naturals. They, too, are wrapped in Cameroon tobacco.
I couldn't agree more!!Quote:

I might have to disagree with Newman getting credit for using Cameroon wrappers. When I started smoking cigars in the early '70's Royal Jamaicans, which at that time were made with Jamaican tobacco, had Cameroon wrappers. I believe, although I'm not sure, predates Newman's efforts.
Doc.
Holt's has these on close-out for $79.95 a box (Belicoso Tubos) 20ct.Quote:

I liked this stick quite a bit, but I felt it got kind of boring 2/3 of the way through. I have another to get a better opinion on it.
A "boring" cigar? How do you handle a "boring" cigar. Did you just fall asleep smoking it, or was it more like you would never smoke it again...Quote:

It was a rule I adopted for myself because when I first started smoking I was learning what "plugged" cigars were and other construction issues were. Those can have an impact how much you enjoy the cigar. My palate was also developing too. My taste changed as I smoked more and more. By giving cigars a second chance I was able judge them more fully. I may continue to smoke cigars but right now I am not in a financial position to justify purchasing cigars when I am struggling to pay student loans. ThanksQuote:
