Review Notes: Complex yet smooth flavor that really openned up halfway through the cigar. Excellent draw and fragrant smoke. I smoked this short stick for about 40 minutes to the nub and it never got harsh or hot. Love this stick!

Review Notes: I loved this cigar! I wouldn't buy a whole box simply because it is too damn expensive, but I loved this one. It was smooth and had a great taste to it. I can't explain all of the little nuances to the taste, but believe me, it was good. Definitely recommended.

Review Notes: I had higher expectations for this one given the CAO pedigree. Nice rich brown wrapper with minimal veins and no soft spots. Great construction. Prelight aroma was bland. Easy light but firm draw despite 3 months at 65/65. The flavor, which I would describe as a nutty with a bit of flora, remained mild-to-medium in intensity and one-dimensional throughout. I kept waiting for it to develop additional complexity, but it never opened up. The burn was perfect, but I chucked it by the last 1/3 as I got bored with it. Perhaps best enjoyed in the morning or afternoon. Could be shared/given to friends who wouldn't mind a mild cigar with a big name but not a "big taste". All in all, fairly average and unimpressive, at least for my taste....

Review Notes: This is a nice stubby smoke, built perfect, and smoked like a champ. This is what I always expected a cigar to be, but rarely is. The entire Criollo line is superb, but this one is the mainstay in my Humi because of the size. It’s perfect for a relaxing smoke after work, but doesn’t take the entire evening. Along with two fingers of Makers Mark, this is a good smoke for winding down from a hectic day. It’s worth a purchase if only to get the unique 4 drawer box.

Review Notes: This one is another great CAO cigar. I've personally had good luck with all CAOs, and this was no different. Started off a bit rough but turned into a medium bodied complex smoke that I thoroughly enjoyed. Gotta love the cameroon wrapper (at least I think that's what this is). Burn was classic CAO, very even all the way down. Draw was great, I got plenty of smoke without much effort. Try one!
