The storied Dominican brand launched the Cameroon 1903, part of their Time Capsule Series, back in 2017. The year referred to when the brand started using the Cameroon wrapper for the first time. A cigar with an interesting and complex flavor profile. The medium-light strength level makes sure that the broad spectrum of aromas is put center stage.
Wood, pepper, and coffee are perceptible in the first half, joined by nuts and vegetal nuances. The flavor profile becomes more intense in the second half, and creamy notes of caramel are added.

HOW ARE THE AWARDS MADE?
Those who scored the highest among the cigars tested during the year in blind tastings and reviews get re-selected. These products are then tested once again in a new blind tasting, which means not knowing what they are during the tasting. The test results are then compared, and the TOP 5 are created.
Since 2015, CigarsLover Magazine has focused on terroirs in order to give the right space to all the producing countries. From 2018, the TOP 5 were paired with the TOP 50, which lists the 50 best cigars without distinction of origin. Together with the Best Brands, the Best Buy, and the best Boutique Brands, this list will be published in CigarsLover Magazine issue #5.
