Well please forgive me for the review quality as I'm still trying to improve my writing skills. Also the picture quality isn't the best as I took the pics on my balcony.
Well let me start by saying when I started smoking I smoked Camaroons almost exlusivly, CAO Camroons, any standard Arturo Fuente, Don Carlos, Hemingway, Cuesta Rey, etc and as my palate started getting more refined I found myself preferring stronger smokes, as well as Cubans and Maduros, well when I visited my smoke shop I was told the LFD 2000 was an excellent Cami, now I've smoked a some of their stronger cigars and was always very impressed, in fact I can't recall smoking a bad LFD.
The cigar looks good with an awesome smell, the Camaroon wrapper seems less fragile than I remember on other smokes. Well off we go, the light was easy with that great spicy flavor, no waiting on this smoke, flavor right off the bat.
As I smoke the cigar down I don't note a whole lot of consistency, just an awesome toasty flavor that pairs well with my Monteristo Cameroon coffee. The ash holds okay but is a bit flaky. I knock the ash off to avoid dropping it in my lap.
As I got further down the cigar it burns a bit crooked but this doesn't affect the taste, as well there's no unravelling that I sometimes get w/ this wrapper. Taking off the band doesn't involve the wrapper coming off with it as sometimes happens. Taking this cigar to the nub rewards me with a bit more strength but it never gets harsh. The burns also straightens itself out well with no correction. The draw was well throughout with a bit more smoke produced towards the end. Down to the the end the cigar never gets hot..
After being disapointed by many of the Arturo Fuente cigars lately, I'm not sure if the quality has gone down or if some of the new cigars on the market are just that much better. This cigar has reignited my love affair with the cameroon wrapper and made me a lover of this brand !! An awesome mild to medium smoke !!
