From what I read about the description of the Arturo Fuente cigar line, the Hemingway and Don Carlos, both are wrapped with a Cameroon wrapper. I like those types of cigars (Best Seller, Classics, Signature, D.C #3, D.C Robusto). What would you suggest based on your experience with the Cameroon wrapper that I can look for other brand of cigar that cost less but has that deep, light spicy taste of the Cameroon wrapper ?
P.S: I may have forgotten other attribute of the Hemingway and Don Carlos line. If you have some useful insight to supplement, please do so.
 
I usually go for nicaraguan cigars, my two cameroon favs are torano 1916(i think) cameroon, and the C.A.O. anniversery cameroon. I don't know how much cheaper these are. The Toranos are a bit cheaper than the C.A.O.s
 
Gurkha makes an "Aged Cameroon" as part of their Master's Select line. Great smoke (I had one today!) but not cheap, it used to be $220 a box at CI.
 
Another great option is the Montecristo Afrique. Not cheap but a good bit less then the Hemis and DC's. I find them to offer a very unique flavor profile which I like. They're not as smooth as the Hemis though.

My good ole mother once said "ya know sometimes you just can't beat the original"! and ya know I think on this one she's right ;) When I hear things as "not as smooth" "unique profile" "not cheap" hey why mess with it go for the original. Beside my good ole mom was never wrong LMAO

I smoked a TRILOGY 'Authentic Cameroon' last night. Pretty good stick. I don't know it compares to the AF, but it was good. And that triangular press looks pretty cool too :p
