Review Notes: My favorite CAO. The criollo wrapper brings a rich and jazzy taste to the pallate.

Review Notes: I am a huge fan of CAO, especially the Criollo line. This one had a very loose draw/loose tobacco and was prone to going out. Despite many re-lights, it never got going and did not develop any flavor. Sent it to the compost pile 1/2 way through. They must have had a newbie rolling this one.

Review Notes: I got this cigar in a CAO sampler and have been looking forward to trying it because it’s a great looking stick; nice leather color with defined veins, very classic looking wrapper and a twist on the end of the cigar. However, at 5 bucks for this stick at this size, I’m very disappointed (although I paid about 3 bucks for it because it was in a sampler). The flavor isn’t very interesting and I’m kind of bored with it half way into the smoke. This is a fairly mild bodied cigar (3/10) and just doesn’t have enough flavor for my liking. This is definitely not one that I would recommend, unless you really like mild cigars – but even in that case I think you could find a much better value.

Review Notes: I am a true believer in CAO cigars. They usually take up about half of my humidor and are usually the first ones I reach for. This is the first cigar from CAO that I can honestly say will not accompany it's brethrin in my humidor. Very ordinary and uneventful. Not a CAO that is worth the price.

Review Notes: This a very nice looking cigar. It smoked very well. NIce cigar to relax out on the balcony with. And looks nice displayed in the humidor.
