Cameroon Recommendations
Smoke=Fire

Well, I have had a couple, but no great amounts. It is time to broaden my horizons. I was wondering what ones you fine folks enjoy the most.
I was also going to experiment, given Urbino's suggestion that a smaller ring gauge has a greater wrapper to filler ratio, and the effects on flavor; usually I am a Robusto and/or Toro man.
Well, fire away!

I finally got my first Nub today.... how the hell do you smoke a 66 ring gauge? That thing is massive, break my damn jaw trying to chomp on that.
The most memorable cameroon that I have had was the La Aurora 1495 Cameroon 1994. It was a really good cigar and is a smaller ring gauge. They only come in corona 5 x 44. I recommend it.
As for Cameroons in general, I'd be hard pressed to pick between Cameroon and Maduro as my favorite wrapper. Or, at least, a lot of my favorite cigars seem to have one of those wrappers.
I went to my humi to get the G Cameroon that comes in the Oliva sampler, and there wasn't one. Then I looked at the pictures on ccom, and I saw that the Oliva G Cameroon is unusually dark for a Cameroon. I think that's what I smoked, and the G I have left is the Maduro (even darker).
So count me among the Oliva G Cameroon fans, too. I need to go back and correct the entry in my log.
A couple or three I like that you may not have considered:
Indian Tabac Cameroon Legend. Nice flavor and excellent value. Got some on auction (Grand Robusto size) for $7 for a 5 pack
H. Uppman Vintage Cameroon - got a box of the petite coronas some time ago. It is a great cigar and usually runs about $90/box. I got mine on special for about $55 I think.
