Equivalent

I have smoked a couple of Nub camaroons now and really like them. I really wish I could get that same smoke in a robusto or double corona.

Is there a REALLY close equivalent?

Check out the Arturo Fuente Hemingway's. A great Cameroon that comes in lots of vitolas

I understand (being somewhat of a hoarder, and having a backup for everything in my house) the idea of wanting to stick with a stick that you really, really enjoy. Not that there's anything wrong with that... but when I get locked in on something too hard, I often find out that it kept my eyes closed to something that I'd have enjoyed even more.

If you liked the Nub Cameroon I would defer to the ultimate 'roon Ho here on the forum, @Opatience. Tony, what would you recommend?

0patience

Torano 1916
Torano Salutem - cameroon filler
RP Vintage 03 cameroon
Partagas Decadas - good luck finding
Partagas 150 -$80-$100 per - good luck finding
Partagas 160 - $30 - $60 per - good luck finding
Partagas 170
CAO CX2
AF Hemingway
AF Don Carlos #4
LFD Cameroon Cabinet
Oliva Series G
AKA Hybrid
Upmann Vintage Cameroon
Partagas - Domestic
Cohiba - Domestic

I know I didn't mention La Aurora, but their blend is a bit sharper than I like.

Of these, the Partagas, Cohiba and Upman are what I consider "sharp" cameroons.
Think of Sharp cheddar cheese.

The rest, I would consider "medium" or smooth.

The nub I would put in the medium category.

As for is there a close equivelant?
AKA Hybrid, 1916, Salutem and CX2 would probably be the closest, but remember that each of these blends are all slightly different.
Yes, they have cameroon wrappers, (with exception of the Salutem, which is cameroon filler), but they all may have different filler/binder blends.

Personally, the Nub is way down on my list of good cameroons, so you may or may not agree with the ones I like.

Edit: To clarify, the Nub is a good tasting cameroon. It gets put further down my list, because of the vitola, not because of the taste.
It is a large ring gauge and my preference is 50 or less lately.

@SteveInTexas, you might also try Perdomo Mistakes, the wrapper is Cameroon, it's a good cigar, and the price tag won't break you.

That folks is what you call a Cameroon clinic by the master Cameroon ho!

Tony's got some good list skills!

Hemingway and Oliva G kind of go without saying for me--because everyone should say Hemingway and I like Oliva. But other than that from Tony's list, the CX2 was one I enjoyed a lot. There's a couple on there I haven't tried but hope to, soon.

Tony @0patience what do you think about the black pearl morado. It's the only cammy i've tried. Thanks for the list, looks like I'll have to add a few more to my gotta try list.
Thanks again

peter4jc

Drew Estates' Nirvana could be on the list as well. Ccom's sister site had a killer deal on them yesterday... might still be good.

SteveInTexas

Thanks

black pearl morado is one I had forgotten about, along with the Monte Afrique.
Decernt cigars and usually the black pearl caan be found at aa good price.

And what would those be @Martel ? Hmmm?

0patience

Well, now that I think about it, I did forget a couple.
Cohiba - Domestic
Kristoff
Excalibur
CAO L'Anniversaire Cameroon
AF God of Fire
Leccia White
Lattitude Zero
Nirvana

Cohiba and Excalibur, I would put in the sharp category.
The Kristoff, I should not have forgotten, as it is very good.
The CAO L'Anniversaire Cameroon is really good, but I like the CX2 myself.
The God of Fire is a great cigar, but expensive.
The Leccia white is probably one that I would rank towards the top of good of the list.
Lattitude Zero, Medium and it has Zero in the name. That makes it great right there.

Nirvana good medium cameroon, but on the high side for price. On deals, it's not a bad purchase.

As for which ones would be comparative to the Nub, I'd go with Kristoff, Leccia, and Nirvana

@peter4jc
They have the deal still on for the Nirvana and it's a pretty good deal.

I wish they would take the blasted time away from editting posts.

OK, I'm blaming the forum for the order I just put in, though folks say I should blame 0patience, lol. In this situation it really is his fault. Thanks, Tony, for the list of good Camaroons!

Those are an awesome pick!
The Don Carlos #4 is one of my favorite cigars and you can't go wrong with them.

I have two or three more roons to order I can see. I like most of those Tony mentioned, but I have let the supplies dwindle and I am feeling the need to stock up now thanks to Tony's list.
