The morning cigar

[Sir Lancerolot]

Sumatra, Sumatra...don't hear much about that wrapper.
But the real Sumatra wrapper is my all time favourite, tho hard as hell to find now.
That Sumatra tobacco,esp wrapper...produces a fine spiciness and sweetness that,to me,is unmatched.
Can almost see and taste that one you're smoking.

Agreed. Most cigars with Sumatra wrappers use Ecuadoran-grown leaves. They're good, but they lack a flavor component found in Indonesian-grown tobaccos. I've found that same component in some Philippine cigars as well, so it seems to be something in the air, water, soil, etc. of that part of the world.

Luckily the leaves I roll with are Indonesian-grown.

Romeo y Julieta Cedro deluxe is rolled with an Indonesian-grown Sumatra wrapper, and if I couldn't roll one that tasted as good, I'd buy a lot of them.

Everything you wrote in the above post is in line with my thinking. Ecuadorian grown Sumatra wrapper is completely devoid of the flavour I get when smoking a cigar that has the Sumatra Sumatra tobacco. And binder/filler leaf grown in the same locations. The resulting cigars have at least the same degree of unique or distinctly superior flavour/complexity/taste as do Cubans. Different but each uniquely tied to their Geographic location.

Don't recall ever having smoked a Romeo y Julieta Cedro Deluxe...will fix that oversight very soon.
