Update 4/3/09 Still rate this high, going to buy box.
I am disapointed I only picked up 6 of these from the cigar store. This was my third one to smoke before I rated it to make sure it was not a fluke.
This is a great smoke and the cameroon wrapper really gives this cigar a great 'mouth'. This is a new term I am going to use for the taste of the wrapper on your lips before even lighting it up. Some cigars just have a very bitter taste and you have to have some sort of beverage or liquor to dampen your lips before lighting up to enjoy the cigar. This one does not need that and was enjoyable from start to finish.

Cameroon wrapper is one of the world's sweetest, most flavorful tobaccos and the five-year-old, 1996 vintage used on Cusano Killer Cameroon cigars is one of the finest ever produced says Michael Chuisano, president of DomRey Cigar Co.
"We combined two very potent filler tobaccos, aged three and five years, to mellow out any harshness or bite while still keeping its underlying power intact," says Chuisano. "The delicate Cameroon wrapper provides the perfect finish, as this cigar tests the limits of strength while not overpowering the palette. Every cigar has an excellent draw, burns beautifully and develops a speckled white ash."
Chuisano thought he may have gone overboard in perfecting the blend of the Cusano Cameroon cigar with master cigar blender Hendrik Kelner. But samples smoked by key testers were quickly praised as "killer cigars," with requests for more. Cusano knew they had created the most powerful Cameroon cigar available, and the Cusano Killer Cameroon was born.
All tobaccos are vintage certified by ProCigar, the Dominican Republic cigar manufacturer's association.
Killer Cameroon is offered in four shapes: Robusto (5 x 50), Corona (6 x 46, belicoso tip), Toro (6 x 50), and Churchill (7 x 50), Cigars are individually cello-wrapped, and packaged in 20-count plexi-top, cabinet-style boxes. Retail prices range from $3.49 for a single Robusto to $4.49 for a single Churchill, available to retailers at keystone markup. Free samples are available for licensed retailers from Cusano Cigars.
