Description

CAO Cameroon was created in 1998 to celebrate the 30th anniversary of C.A.O's founding and blended by none other than Nick Perdomo of Tabacalera Perdomo, the C.A.O. L’Anniversarie Series cigars are nothing short of perfection. The C.A.O. L’Anniversarie Series Cameroon cigars feature a smooth, silky native grown wrapper leaf from the west coast of Africa.
Below this sweet and slightly spicy leaf are a collection of Nicaraguan binder and Nicaraguan long fillers which blend together producing a delightful, medium bodied smoke with hints of nuts, caramel, spice and subtle cocoa. The CAO Cameroon cigar box-pressed, the construction of the L’Anniversarie Cameroon is outstanding. With a drawer full of 90, 91, and 92 ratings and it's recent inclusion in Cigar Aficionado's "Top 50" cigars, the C.A.O. Cameroon is a cigar that should be in everyone’s humidor.
CAO Cameroon has received a superb 91-rating from Cigar Aficionado in their October 2017 issue!

CAO Cameroon Robusto

good little powerhouse

Coffee and chocolate on the beginning which gets a little peppery and with a pleasant finish

CAO Cameroon Perfecto is definitely a little firecracker. Spicy from the start and a consistent kick all the way through. It is definitely a good 1/2-hour smoke to share with friends on a warm afternoon with a Mexican style beer.

CAO Cameroon Perfecto

Brief Escape with a Firecracker

I've tried many of the CAO lines and continue to try new ones, and they always seem to release more than I can keep up with. This was my most recent acquisition from the brand and it's a good one for many reasons.

First of all is the shape. I smoke a lot of figurados. I love perfectos, but let's be honest, there's not a lot of boxes of good quality perfectos on the market that can be had for entry level prices. Enter the CAO Cameroon Perfecto! Small? Yes, but it smokes for longer than you probably think. Mine tend to go for between 30-40 minutes, which is pretty good considering the price of this well made cigar (about $4 a stick). Depending on your routine, this cigar may be the perfect respite in your busy schedule. I love the size and shape because they fit a very particular function: Those brief breaks in between a day's work.

Secondly, the flavor. These Cameroons pack a punch. If a dark Churchill is going 8 slow rounds with a heavy weight, then this perfecto is like one fast round with a kick boxer. Not that you're fighting it, mind, but the brief intensity is invigorating and surprising. Lots of wood spice with tough leather that's been rubbed with plenty of black pepper. BBQ char and bitter dregs of sweetend espresso. Pretty good depth for its size.

At last, the value of these cigars is pretty apparent. If you are on a tight budget but you still want a premium box of cigars, you could do much worse than the flavor of this CAO wrapped up in the elegance of a perfecto. For less than $80 for 20 smokes, your wallet will be as happy as your palate. These cigars are decorated like a Christmas tree. The eye catching shape behind these green and white bands makes this an impressive cigar for sharing.

I would certainly always keep some of these guys in my humidor. They're an all around good buy. If you like a little boisterous flavor, I think you will be pleased.

Perfecto Cameroon

Sweet sultry spice burst off the Cameroon wrapper. Then the peppery Nicaraguan come through and brings balance and pure smoking bliss.

whats the deal with all these cigars being labeled natural? Isn't every cigar natural? They grow in the ground, they take in sunlight, we harvest em. Sounds pretty natural to me!

CAO Cameroon Robusto

Relaxing smoke

These could easily become my favorite cigar. Smooth, yet robust flavors, even burning, wonderful ash buildup. Not a bum in the box, these are my "go to" smokes!

CAO Cameroon Robusto

I love these

A little slow developing the excellent flavor that they hold. The first draw was kinda harsh. When I let it sit for a little bit, I found this cigar to be one of the finest and best cigars that I have had in a long time. Great cigar.

Normally I'm a Hemingway smoker, but when I came across this offer I said what the heck. To my surprise this cigar just jumped to the top of my list. The box pressed and the smooth taste, all the way to the nub, is what won me over. Mike's cigars came through. Price, shipping and smoke are top notch.
