Okay, help me out here. I noticed a bid for a new Indian Tabac Cameroon Legend, with a maduro wrapper. How can they call these things Cameroon Legend if they're not wrapped with a Cameroon wrapper? Maybe the purchasing department bought too many of those bands. Regardless, I'll bet they're tasty.

I had one of the figurado's from a local store that had it labeled as such. All I can say is WOW!!!

It's a Maduro Cameroon wrapper......duuuuhhhh!

Correct me if I'm wrong, and stating the obvious ... but all Cameroon means is that the wrapper came from Cameroon, a country in Africa.

Maduro leaves are just wrappers that have been aged (fermented or cured) a few years longer.

I don't know for sure, but why couldn't there be a maduro Cameroon wrapper?

Indian Tabac makes good gars. Oops, I meant to say Indian Tabac sucks. Don't bid on them.

I did some checking as I have pondered this myself. Maduro means ripe in spanish. Refers to fermentation by sun exposure or over time. I associate cameroon types with a darker brown shiny wrapper. 5 Vegas for instance. I have seen maduros that looked like a cameroon(maduro excalibur). Then there is the black oscuro. The crappy purple maduros(never smoke one of these). Even knowing the definition it is often hard to identify a wrapper. The manufacturer doesn't always say. So in summation: you can have a cameroon maduro. I suspect it is very dark indeed! I am now curious enough to try one(or 5).

Please allow me to explain. I love these sticks. The maduro cameroon legend cigars have the same blend as the original cameroon legend series, but with a maudoro wrapper from Brazil. More info can be found at the Indian Tabac website. Fisher.

It's not a very dark maduro, much like the cuban maduro's out these days. In fact, it's just a shade darker than the regular cameroon legend's. But boy are they good.

Well now I guess this would make sense. I guess my stupid question was a result of the fact I've only seen Cameroon wrappers along the EMS-shade variety. Maduro Cameroon just didn't sound right to me. I will vow to think outside the box from now on.

Yo CL there is only one stupid question, that's the one you don't ask. JonR
