Review Notes: this cigar is not as well made as the conquistidor but still a good smoke.

Review Notes: I like these cigars, although I don't have plant to buy a box. Nicely rolled, but a bit on the tight side for draw. Burn was excellent, taste was medium bodied, decent flavors, slightly metallic part way through, earthy flavors, left a nice aftertaste in my mouth. Not bad but in the price range there is a lot of competition.

Review Notes: I enjoyed this cigar, but I think my expectations were a little too high. This was not the best CAO I have had. It seemed to lack character and flavor like the other CAO's I have enjoyed. Can't all be winners.

Review Notes: Interesting retro box with cedar drawers and a folding front organized these cigars beautifully. They came individually wrapped in tissue bound with an earthen colored ribbon. The tissue peeled off to reveal a stylish cigar that glowed with a wonderful natural wrapper showing nice tooth and dark brown highlights. The tiny pigtail on the expertly applied cap was a nice touch, and the antiqued band understated and appropriate. This cigar was frikken gorgeous, and the scent of cedar clung to it tightly. A lovely flavor with a hint of cork, reminiscent of a punk, and a tangy tongue tingle. The ultimate impression was of dark, bloody meat with a slight coppery taste. Delicious. A pleasant, medium full cigar with a lovely aroma that exhibits interesting multidimensional character. Even the aroma stung the nose pleasantly. The cigar got a bit soft as it burned, and the grey ash was a bit loose and had a small amount of flaking. Perfect draw and great smoke production. I enjoyed this cigar along with a Togo’s hot pastrami on wheat and it turned out to be an excellent pairing. The cigar’s classic and mellow flavor complemented the sandwich and offered a refined and mellow counterpoint that was sublime in its harmony. I nubbed this cigar and was very satisfied afterwards. Overall this was a great cigar from start to finish. Nice, unique box, beautiful presentation, well executed, and solid in all respects. Yeah, I’d smoke more of these. Definitely recommended.

Review Notes: A CAO that is consistent. I have had the same experience as Ozzmosis with most CAO's but I've smoked 10 of these babies and so far the draw and construction have been right on time. A really nice medium bodied cigar for any time of the day. Straightforward tobacco taste, not overly complex and a quick finish. This is my everyday cigar right now.
