Review Notes: Appearance impressive, but draw slightly tight. Mild, closed for the first 1/4, then moderate leather, maybe chocolate. A bit harsh from the 2/3 mark, but overall 'twas a fine smoke. For CAO, I shall continue to favor the Brazilia line.

Review Notes: I was really looking forward to this particular one. CAO's never have disappointed me, but...this cigar had all the looks! After lighting it up, I wasnt wowed by the flavor. What kept my attention was the DARK color of the wrapper. It burned well till I reached the last 1/3, and it had a slight bitterness to it. I did buy 5 of them, and plan to let them age a bit and see if that affects the quality of it, I'm sure it will....

Review Notes: This cigar started medium to full with alot of spice for the first half. I was actually enjoying it almost as much as the Samba. But at the half, it changed personalities like it was "that time". It got really nasty tasting and I eventually tossed it after only a few more tries. Stay with the Brazilia or maduro in the CAO brand.

Review Notes: This is the second cigar I have smoked in this line and the first of this size. Just like the Toro construction, draw, and burn were excellent. Flavor was also excellent, rich, complex and smooth all the way to the end. This size was not substantially different in flavor from the Toro and considering the marginal difference in size the toro is the better deal.

Review Notes: I gave one of these a shot. Overall, not an impressive smoke. I agree with a previous review that the wrapper looks unnaturally dark, as if its been dyed or altered somehow. Construction was good, burn was even, draw was fine and there was plenty of smoke. However, the flavor of the stick was just not pleasant at all. The flavor was harsh, young and had a bit of a chemical taste to it.
