Rocky Patel - Vintage 2003 Cameroon Robusto Cigar Review.
The Vintage 2003 Cameroon in Robusto is a 5.5" by 50 stick with a medium-brown Cameroon wrapper, a Nicaraguan binder, and a combination of Nicaraguan and Dominican filler.
The flavor profile was medium-full bodied with little-to-no strength.
On the pre-light, the wrapper gives off a barnyard/hay aroma, while the foot yields notes of chocolate-covered cherries.
This cigar offered pleasant flavor notes with a few notable transitions.
The first third offered notes of sweet cedar, grass/earth, and an almond nut note. Those flavors gave way to a roasted coffee and cocoa note on the quite long finish. A hint of pepper zest was also present but rather faint.
In the second third, the grass/earth note matured into a hemp note that was dominate right off of the puff but quickly faded on the finish.
In the final third, a sweet tobacco note became prevalent for the first time, and the cocoa disappeared from the finish
The smoke output was average and left a dryness in the mouth. The draw had moderate resistance throughout and was perfectly smokable. The construction was solid in the first half but the burn struggled considerably in the tail half, requiring multiple touchups to combat tunneling.
Recommended pairings: dark coffee.
My smoke time was about two hours for this vitola.
Overall it was a very complex and unique cigar. While probably not for everyone, I believe many fans of Cameroons and cigars with dynamic flavors will greatly enjoy this one.
