Review Notes: 73 days in humi. A beauty to observe. The black, red and gold classy band looks great against this almost black cigar. Fairly smooth wrapper with some veins and an attractive oily sheen. Very heavy,solid and tightly packed feel. Rich pre-light aroma of well fermented tobaccos, anise and earth. Burn is even and strong throughout the entire smoke, but the draw was just a bit too tight which knocked it down a notch. Flavors were full but extremely smooth and creamy with notes of dark chocolate, espresso, leather against a faint background of licorice and pepper. Leaves a slight sweetnees on the lips. For such a dark leaf this was a very smooth smoker. Excellent!

Review Notes: I enjoyed this cigar and the performance was very solid. I tasted some cinnamon notes and also some pepper on the finish. Dark maduro Brazilian wrapper was sweet. A medium-bodied smoke with a good draw and very good construction.

Review Notes: I really liked this smoke. It's very rich and has a strong sweetness to it. The construction is CAO as alwayse, spot on. Great draw and burn, with a nice ash to boot. It's lightly peppery and leathery in taste. Just right for putting you feet up after work to unwind.

Review Notes: CAO knows how to build a cigar. Every CAO I have had is solid. This one has a little more packaging than necessary, but it does not change the strong CAO performance. Solid and dark, this one is slightly peppery and medium bodied.

Review Notes: Starts a bit dry and uneven. Gets better with massive volumes of leathery smoke. Given a choice, I'd take a Brazilia.
