More than a century ago, at the dawn of the H. Upmann legacy, nearly all of the company’s cigars were crafted with what we would consider today a Cameroon wrapper. Technically, a Cameroon wrapper encompasses the growing regions of West Africa and while the tobacco is notoriously difficult to work with, the reward for patience and perseverance is a flavor unlike anything else in the cigar industry.
While there can be a Cameroon seed grown in more hospitable climates like Nicaragua, a true Cameroon is grown on the African continent. Due to recent issues, there has been a major shortage of the wrapper. However, the team at Altadis USA has been diligent, combing through countless samples to acquire and stockpile grade A samples that could produce a cigar worthy of the praise and acclaim that H. Upmann is known for.
So, smoke this blend of Cameroon wrapper, Nicaraguan binder and filler tobacco from the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua and Peru with the confidence that it’s truly authentic and more flavorful than some of the imitations you’ll find on the market. The flavor profile here is one of roasted nuts, woodsy sweetness and dried fruit. A light accent of coffee bean on the tongue adds the perfect capstone for this medium-bodied delight.
True smokers don’t just want to experience the best cigars; they want to experience the world through cigars. Like a Brazilian Mata Fina or other unique wrapper styles that come and go in terms of popularity or availability, the Cameroon is a masterpiece when correctly utilized.
