I just had a Trilogy Ovation Cameroon Monarch (6x50) and it was a good mild cigar. I think the cameroon flavor came out a little more than in the regular Trilogy line, but not much (not nearly as much as with the 1916's though).
If you're looking for a quality mild cigar (with good flavor, great burn and draw and lots of smoke) check these out.
Oh, this had been 'resting' in one of my humidors for about six weeks at 62% (I prefer cigars to be a little drier).
What do you all think?

Got one from dbguru. Unfortunately, I've been suffering from what I think is Chinese bird flu, and I've hardly had a chance to sample anything from the last herf.

I think you've just discovered one of the best kept secrets around. Trilogy is an excellent cigar for the money............

shhhhh : )

one of the better values out there. I've loved the cammies for a while - just had the maduro last weekend - and yummy, yummy!

I'll try to keep this quiet, but I've had a maduro Ovation resting too, might have to try that next! Good to hear about it.

I finally found myself clear enough to enjoy a fine cigar today, so I lit up that cammy Ovation. Construction was very good. The veining was distinct, but fine and smooth. It lit, and burned straight without any correction. Not exactly razor sharp, but comendably straight. The first quarter inch was rough and spicy, but settled into more of a toasty flavor. Occasionaly a definite cedar tone would come through, but it was transient. The smoke left a very dry impression. The filler reminded me of a Fittipaldi, but the wrapper came across a little flatter. There was definitely some power behind it. Not an ass kicker, but with some oomph. A very good cigar, but nothing about it compels me to seek out more.
