La Flor Dominicana Cameroon Cabinet

Cameroon wrapped cigars are not nearly as fashionable as they used to be, but don't tell that to a La Flor Dominicana Cameroon Cabinet. All it knows and cares about is delivering consistent flavor and satisfaction, the same qualities it's been dishing out since launching in 2007 and which led to Top 25 honors as recently as 2012. This persistence of character might be due to Litto Gomez' commitment to all aspects of his creation or it could be the choice Dominican and Nicaraguan blend that forms the heart of each stogie. Either way, this is one great stick. (See more La Flor Dominicana Cigars) Perhaps one of the reasons you don't see more Cameroon cigars is that the leaf itself, especially from a higher priming like this one, is not particularly attractive, with some noticeable veins and a splotchy appearance. It's also thin and delicate which means it doesn't hide underlying lumps very well and is more prone to be damaged during rolling or boxing. Despite these minor aesthetic drawbacks, the wonderfully pungent fragrance should clue you in that the LFD Cameroon Cabinet is a force to be reckoned with. The characteristic spice of the leaf, like a cross between nutmeg and clove, breaks across the palate from the moment the cigar is lit. This is followed soon after by crisp cedar, white pepper and a touch of molasses all of which lasts through to the end. Available in rugged boxes of fifty, there are few better ways to fill your humidor than with a collection of La Flor Dominicana Cameroon Cabinets. They pair just as well with a morning coffee as they do beside a sipped evening whiskey so you'll probably end up burning them faster than expected. Just keep an eye on your stash so you don't run out. Having to wait for your favorite smoke is not much fun.
