Review Notes: Very good complex Cigar. Nice construction and burned well. Just the right amount of spice!

Review Notes: It was "The Tale of Two Halves". The Ciao was very delicious for the first half, hints of spice, vanilla, and a few unidentified, but pleasant flavors. Unfortunately the second have not so terrific, it was very mild, and the formerly nice taste was replaced by something that was not good. It's possible this stick got hot toward the finish, I don't know. From the looks and the name of this gar I guess I had unrealistic expectations. Maybe I was thinking there would be expressions of oregano, garlic or olive oil? Anyway, my ratings, especially in flavor are a compromise between the two halves. This cigar is beautiful and I did not experience any substantial burn problems. I was just expecting more - Ciao.

Review Notes: An incredibly well built cigar. Hard as a rock and heavy in the hand. Very even burn with strong, white ash. Draw was pleasantly firm. The flavor started out spicy then mellowed with an aftertaste of pepper which lasted to about halfway through. Notes of coffee and wood and maybe some cream on the aftertaste followed. I did not expect such flavor changes out of a vitola this size and enjoyed it.

Review Notes: This is the best CAO i have smoked to date, but i have yet to try the America. I want to let that one get some age on it before i smoke it. the flavor was very pleasant, a little pepper (no were near the pepin's), nutty, with some ceder tones. Produced lots of smoke, and the ask burned perfect.

Review Notes: kinda hard to describe this one as i never tasted anything like it before, but thats a good thing as this cigar was really nice and smooth. at best i would say it tasted herbal. burn was straight, draw was awsome aroma was pleasant. as i rarely smoke to the nub, and this was no exception, but if i had to i probably could go all the way with this one
