Review Notes: I like the pepper in this one, but it is still mild enough to smoke w/o a beer or good steak in your belly. Needed a few touch-ups here and there, but flavors remained earth and consistent.

Review Notes: Looks fine. Light in the hand, but the bunch looks solid. Generous draw, thanks to the massive ring gauge. Peppery and earthy from the start with a dry finish. A vanilla note crept in along the way, but so did a charry cigarette-like quality. I agree with previous reviewers. It isn't awful, but I can't think of anything good to say about it either. Another in a long line of so-so offerings from CAO.

Review Notes: This is cigar started out okay, with a medium/full body with a bit of pepperiness and some twang to it. As the smoke progressed, it got harsher and harsher and just was not enjoyable at all. Coupled with a draw that was way too tight, I tossed this one a little over half way through. It just wasn't enjoyable, flavorwise, and it seemed to suffer from the same construction issues that I find in many of the CAOs that I've had. I have to give this the thumbs down, especially when you factor in the $5.50 price tag.

Review Notes: Very bland, I thought it would have more flavor like most of the other CAO lines(Brazilia). Was not impressed at all, decent draw but very awful uneven burn, tried to fix a couple of times, the burn was so awful that after I fixed it, it would burn on even again.

Review Notes: This is a good smoke, very CAO-like if you've tried some of their other ones...sort of has that earthy/floral/sweet spice taste that seems to appear in CAO's. Fairly flavorful, but not as much as say the Criollo or the Brazilia. Medium-bodied with a loose draw and good construction. If you've like other CAO's you'll probably like this one, however I wouldn't say this is their best cigar. Somewhat forgettable; I dont think I'll be buying another one of these, just not interesting enough.
