What's your favorite Cameroon Wrap cigar?

[Hambone]

I've been smoking Partagas for about 10 years now. What else do y'all like?

[hex1848]

I'm a big fan of the Belmore Cameroon Selection. Very nice cigar.

CAO Camaroon I had was very nice, even if it did look like a joiners pencil.

Prestigios for me. One of the few pricey cigars that I feel are worth the money too.

where can you get those? i'm going to be there this weekend. any good shops i should check out?

[rpcky16]

It’s a bad ass shop they have a big walk in humidor and you can watch the guys rolling them and smoke right there (God I love New Orleans you can smoke and drink any where). I think their cigars are good worth the trip at least just to check out and see first hand how a cigar is made. http://www.cigarfactoryneworleans.com/ Its right on Decatur you can’t miss it (that is the main shop where you can watch them roll the cigars) they also have a little place on Bourbon St. (no rollers there). There are a couple other cigar shops in the quarter by Jefferson Square but they charge like $3 more per stick then any other normal shop. There are a couple shops on St. Charles that I have never been to but I assume that their prices are lower just because they are not trying to screw the tourists like the ones in the quarter. Hope that helped.

Ps. Get a hand grenade on Bourbon St.

Living 6.5 hours from New Orleans, I've made that trip a few times too many ;-)

I always drink hand grenades. Never been one for the Huricanes. You got to hit up Cafe DuMond for some begnets and coffee in the AM followed by some Cajun Bloody Mary's.

no, i just tried the cameroon. spent too much money on alcohol. yeah, the hottie was there, but she didn't say much to us. probably because i had my entourage of ruffians with me.

Fonseca Vegas Cameroon - tasty

[cigarsarge]

Don't like cammies. Sungrowns are another matter.

BUT.....I try to find a couple favs in wrappers that I don't generally like. I'll always pick a sun grown over anything else.

I generally dislike maduro but have found a few that I like. Butera, Ashton and Perdomo have maduros that I can smoke and enjoy.

It's the same with Cameroon. Perdomo does them the best to me in the Estate Seleccion series and Fonseca with their Vegas line. I recently had an Inidian Tabac Cameroon that was OK but nothing to write home about.
