Ovation Cameroon Baron

Alec Bradley, one of the preeminent up-and-coming cigar makers, has established a strong portfolio of brands. His latest, the Ovation line, takes the blends and company's reputation to a new level. It's an expansion of his instant-hit Trilogy series—the series is a step up in strength from Trilogy and offers a bolder, heartier and richer blend of premium, aged tobaccos. This month we've selected the wide-bodied Cameroon Baron for your enjoyment and appreciation! Note the silky, sultry Cameroon wrapper on this solidly constructed beauty. It begs to be lit—so light it we did (a tough job but someone's got to do it!) We found the burn to be nice and even, producing booming clouds of cool smoke and an attractive silver-white ash. Mild spicy notes prevailed along with that delicious, slightly sweet Cameroon flavor. The finish smacked of nuts and wood. Overall, this is a complex, rich tasting medium-bodied cigar—offering plenty of everything you'd want! Consider pairing it up with a full-bodied dry roasted Stout.
