Does Sam Leccia White have a Cameroon wrapper?
Some websites list the Sam Leccia White as having a Cameroon wrapper. Others and the official Leccia website say 'African Sun Grown' wrapper. Is it a Cameroon sun grown wrapper or some other variety?
Also, if not what other varieties of leaf come from Africa?

According to the info I have found, Cameroon Tobacco Company and Meerapfel Tobacco Group only grow sun-grown cameroon tobacco.
As for cameroon tobacco grown elsewhere, Cameroon tobacco is originally the Sumatran tobacco plant. So grown elsewhere could be Sumatra tobacco or cameroon (though I don't see how it could be considered a true cameroon).
But, Cameroon tobacco plants are being grown in Ecuador. I've not found any reference to anyone using it or how those have produced wrappers. So I don't know, which is aggravating. LOL!
Since I am a cameroon fiend and this topic intrigued me, I decided I'd see if I can get a reply from the source as to whether they consider the wrapper cameroon or not, so I've attempted an email to Sam Leccia.
We'll see if I get a reply.
Not gonna hold my breath. LOL!
I agree that "Cameroon" wrappers grown anywhere else would just be sumatran, or so it seems.
I hope you hear back!
But now that I know it's Cameroon, I have to locate some. LOL!
I'm liking this one. It is very good. I may have to put this one on my good cameroon list.
