A tight draw on most of these mars an otherwise tasty smoke. Zesty with a medium body flavor profile.

I've smoked two of the five pack. The first was undefiled and unshakable. The second was perfectly rolled but the flavor is just...meh. Not what I expected and cameroon wrappers are my favorite.

When they are well-constructed they are pretty good but they are very inconsistent with many of them rolled too tight. Even when well-rolled they are not as good as the Lonsdale or Corona. This is too fat a ring gauge for this blend. I hold Upmanns to a high standard and these don't make the grade.

I have to compare this to the vintage 2002 that I have smoked and have actually quite a few of but this cigar just does not measure up to the standards of the company in my head but then again I don't run a company so what do I know right!?

These had a good burn but cut cut them a little past halfway on the tip for a good draw it can be a little tight but they loosen past the halfway mark. Little sharp on the first third but pleasant thick dark cedar and earth solid ash skewed burn line but evens itself out no touch up needed. Gets fuller in the middle definite cedar and dark cherry with a dashapeppa. Final third is all cream take your time coming in to it so you can make the most of the burn. Effortless clouds thick Cameroon and pepper. That last third is what this stick is all about and worth the price paid. Be patient with this one it's worth it.

Foot smells good nutty when toasted. Excellent burn line no touch ups needed. Moves into heavy cedar and earth and finishes thick and smooth. As a matter of fact the last third is worth the price alone. I would go back to it any time.

I bought a 10 pack of what was once one of my favorite cigars. The ones I received were tightly sealed in cellophane. They were overly moist and had numerous spots of white mold on them. They have an acrid flavor. I have quarantined them so they don't ruin anything else. So far it looks like I will be discarding the ones I have not yet smoked. Hope your luck is better.

Cameroon is my favorite. That being said the old cameroon Upmans were solid fives. The new ones are not constructed as well as the old ones.I had a few that had burn issues. You can have the best tobacco in the world and if it isn't rolled well it's no good.Still give em four and a half and will buy again

Everything about this torpedo is great. A very nice chestnut brown and sturdy wrapper. Rolled tight and packed with tobacco and had an easy draw. Burns slow cool and even. It contains some Peruvian filler not found in many cigars. Delicious tastes of dark chocolate with toasty and nutty flavors and has some complexity. Medium body but so smooth. I plan on buying more.

I love this cigar. The Cameroon leaf is said to be difficult to work with and that is why so many people shy away from using it for a wrapper. But when it is done right it makes for an excellent complex flavor. Really great with a good wine or a nice single malt.

This is a well made cigar that's on the heavy side of medium. The burn is slightly uneven not a big deal. The taste is somewhat grassy and slightly tart. A good cigar none the less. I purchased these because the wrapper filler and binder are the same as in the RyJ cabinet seleccion (white label) but this cigar lacks the depth and complexity of the RyJ they are also half the price. I can see these becoming my go to cigar.

My father was big on H. Upmann cigars, namely the 1844 Reserve, so when I got into cigars 10 years or so ago, that's what I gravitated too. After awhile I got bored and spent years trying brands here and there, until I found one of the Vintage Cameroons at a local shop. I was hooked. Nutty on the first draws with a flavor that evolves into a more spicy and woody flavor as it smokes, the Vintage Cameroon has now become my daily stick. I would rate it as leaning more to a full bodied strength than a medium, but that being said, a friend of mine who smokes Ashton prime ministers daily didn't find it to be too strong (he thought it was delicious). For the price of these compared to their flavor and construction, they really can't be beat.

I've smoked a fair share of H. Upmann and other brands. This is the worst tasting H. Upmann I've ever had. In fact, it is probably the worst smoke I've ever had. There was nothing wrong with the wrapper or draw - it was just a poor taste.

I normally get a woodsy, leafy aroma from most of the upmann blends, and it seems appropriate to have them as the days get cooler. I prefer a Toro but bought the beli on a whim. These are quite consistent in flavor and smokeability. They aren't as solidly built as others I have had, but that's probably normal for a lot of brands.
Altogether, I get a woodsy, spicy aroma and a fine smoke.

I Purchased these cigars on sale in 5 packs. They arrived extremely dry. Wrappers would Crack open 1/3 through the smoke. These will have to sit in the humidor for some time before being ready to enjoy.
The flavor was ok but the draw was very inconsistent. I considered these a good deal price wise but be prepared to let them sit in your humidor for sometime before they are ready to be smoked.

I was very disappointed in my total order, because these cigars don't feel and smoke as fresh as they should. Vintage Cameroons are one of my favorite smokes. They are dry and the end breaks and unwraps when the tip is cut off. I seriously thought about sending them back but don't want to go through the hassle. These are not what I expect from JR.
BTW, I have purchased cigars from Lew Rothman for 50 years or longer and the new ownership is not doing the name brand justice.

The H. Upmann 1844 Vintage Cameroon cigar impresses with its toothy EMS wrapper, although a few minor blemishes in the form of small 1mm discolored spots (not sure about their origin) were noticeable (x5). The dry draw reveals delightful nutty undertones. The draw itself maintains a medium consistency, showcasing the cigar's excellent construction. As you indulge in this smoke, you'll savor earthy and leathery notes, accompanied by a short but satisfying finish. This cigar falls within the mellow to medium-bodied range, offering a pleasant balance. In terms of strength, it hovers between mild and medium, catering to a wide range of palates. Its solid white ash is visually appealing, and the burn remains even throughout, indicating a well-aged creation.

I'm a big fan of a Cameroon wrapper and my favorite, the Hemmingway series can get pretty expensive. I picked up a 5-pack of the Belicoso and was more than pleasantly surprised.
I liked it enough to buy 5-packs of the Belicoso on a couple other occasions over the last four or five months and after a short rest in the humidor, they have all been wonderful. I think it's very important to let any cigar rest for about a month after it arrives.
These have really good flavor, a beautiful wrapper and excellent construction. The draw and burn on the ones I have smoked have been damn near perfect and that says a lot for construction in the Belicoso vitola. I would say the flavor profile is just short of medium strength and they make a great morning cigar. Pricepoint is great as well.
