Cameroon Wrappers
I was told by one manufacturer that Cameroon wrappers were very delicate. To that fact Cameroon wrappers from Cameroon were so delicate that only 75% of these wrappers were useable as wrappers. But Ecuador Cameroon was 90% usable as wrappers. Can any of you tell the difference between the two Cameroon wrappers? Why would you use Cameroon wrappers from Cameroon when there is so much of the bail that can not be used as wrappers? Just curious about your opinion.

It's the real thing, the original thing.

Today I learned they grow Cameroon in somewhere besides Cameroon.

The soil is very different in both places.
Jose Blanco does tasting seminars. The cigars have 4 different wrappers, and as you smoke, he asks you to guess the wrapper, and any flavor notes you might detect. I love sumatra... and I guessed that one very correctly, it was indonesian sumatra, not equadorian. The difference is subtle, sometimes more in the texture of the leaf (healthier plant) or whatever... but there. is. a. difference....

I've never heard of Cameroon wrapper grown in Ecuador, but it makes sense. I'm a fan of most wrapper grown in Ecuador. They haven't been growing in Ecuador for that long. In my opinion that has been the biggest boon to cigars.

Love Cameroon wrapped cigars. Such a different flavor profile. They are in fact VERY delicate and I’ve had a fair share of AJF and CAO cigars w this wrapper that have cracked. Still think they’re worth it and probably why they are still sold - there’s a market for them.

"True Cameroon" (African) is woodier than Ecuadoran Cameroon; however, based on ring gauge and filler, the difference can be very subtle.
