DESCRIPTION: The 1916 Cameroon commemorates the Toraño family’s entry into the tobacco business. This was the beginning of a legacy, as it was the year of Don Santiago Toraño's emigration from Spain to Cuba. Now, 94 years later, his dream is still alive and is celebrated by the Cameroon 1916.
Featuring a gorgeous Cameroon wrapper that has been prepped and aged for several years, the 1916 Cameroon also sports a Nicaraguan binder and Honduran and Nicaraguan filler.
The Cameroon 1916 comes in 4 cedar-wrapped sizes. Today's featured cigar is the 5.5-inch by 42 ring CORONA.
