Named in honor of co-founder Joe Chiusano’s birth year, the 59′ Rare Cameroon utilizes a special African Cameroon wrapper not only wrapped around the cigar but also stuffed into the the blend of filler tobaccos. Prominently displayed upon entrance to my local shop, I’d been eyeing this 54 ringed beauty for the longest time and for the price, I can’t for the life of me figure out why up until today I hadn’t tried one. Something about this stick just screamed mediocrity and a flashy band with no flavor to back it up, galvanized by the fact that one of my smoking buddies had one a few months back and spent the next 6 hours with his head in the toilet… Would I be pleasantly surprised or would my intuitions be unfortunately confirmed?
