Need help - Can't find a cigar I love

I used to buy the CAO Cameroon Belicosos, but I swear they changed the formula when they went to the green bands.

I enjoyed the cigar, it was tasty, but not too strong. Had a good draw, but was a bit faster smoke compared to other cigars of the same size.

It was also a great cigar to share with friends who don't normally smoke cigars, it was very approachable.

I feel like I've lost my passion for cigars and I think it's because my go-to stick isn't a go-to anymore.

So, with that - what can you recommend for me to try?

    AJ Fernandez New World Cameroon Toro format. You will fall in love all over again. Sometimes companies tweak blends because after all your not going to get the same exact crop year after year. They just try to get closest to what it originally was. I heard when the Ozgener family sold CAO and the owners of this app General Cigar purchased CAO some blends changed just a little bit. Not sure how true that is or not, I enjoy a few CAO blends especially the ones that use Brazilian tobacco like the Bx3 and Brazilia. I highly recommend you smoking the ajf New world cameroon though. Or Arturo Fuente Don Carlos another good Cameroon cigar. I wish you the best on your cigar journey and can find the passion again. 💪🏻💯🙏 Cheers 🥃

    Hang in there, brother. If you like Cameroon wrappers, you may like the H. Upmann Vintage Cameroon. I prefer the robusto vitola; it's one of my faves. Cheers!

    For a medium strength cigar, I would recommend Rocky Patel The Edge Connecticut torpedo and Placensia Cosecha 149 Azacualpa. Those are two very good cigars that would fit similar tastes.

    So many options my friend. You can never go wrong with a good Oliva, I love the CAO Brazilian as well. The Diesel Sherry Cask is amazing! Recently I tried an Oliva Black Swan with was phenomenal! Just to get you started.
