Camaroon!

Not all Cameroons are Cameroon, if you dig. Read up on the Fuentes and their use of Meerapfel tobacco, which is the true Cameroon leaf. That's the good stuff. The Fuente Don Carlos is hands down one of my favorite non-Cuban cigars, and it's the perfect blend for that leaf.

It was a sad day when the Ashton Heritage switched from a Cameroon to Ecuadorian Habano wrapper. I haven't smoked one since.

Edit: I was going to smoke a pipe today but I'm such a good salesman that I talked myself into a Don Carlos No. 3, my favorite vitola from the lineup!

Heritage is one of the best cigars I've smoked. When did they change wrappers?

Two years ago - maybe a bit longer. It took a while for quite a few retailers to run through their supply so for a while after the switch you could still find the Cameroon version on the shelf, but unfortunately that's not the case anymore.

When you try one of these,take you time smoking it, it does pay to smoke slowly,you will like it.
Should the Hemingway not live up to (your) expectations for how a Cameroon wrapped should smoke,you would more than likely be looking at a long time search for something that will.
As mentioned here a few times the Cameroon wrapper is indeed delicate,even it requires a bit more concentration to avoid smoking too quickly, it is worth that effort when find how good that wrapper can be.
That high quality Cameroon wrapper sure does let you appreciate all a good cigar has to offer, due at least to some degree, being smoked slowly.

Looking forwards to hearing how you like that wrapper.

I'll keep that in mind! I usually smoke slowly, but will really take my time with my first Hemingway.
