Review Notes: i bought 5 had my first and i really enjoyed it... appearance was cool to start with. the draw and burn were both really good i had no problems with either. starts off with a floral taste and arome after warming up its almost creamy and finishes off tasting sweet. the changes in the flavor profile are what set it apart from most of teh other cigars in the CAO line. i disagree with other reviewers here i think often times people are just bitter about price before they even light up

Review Notes: I've had other CAO sticks and enjoyed them immensely. I purchased three of these sticks, at $18.00 each. The intent was to have them on hand as a celebratory smoke. The event, the closing of my first home, was ruined. I pulled two of the smokes out of their "coffins" and let them sit in my humidor unwrapped overnight. They LOOKED so beautiful, my anticipation was immediately heightened. I shared one with a friend and was extremely embarrassed. (especially considering the hype surrounding the smoke session. They both burned unevenly. Mine canoed and my friends came completely unwrapped two thirds of the way down. We both had a similar taste experience. Somewhat dry without a lot of flavor. I'll leave the last one in the humidor for another year or so and try it again, but for now, I've sworn off this particular stick all together.

Review Notes: THIS WAS THE COOLEST THING TO COME OUT OF A COFFIN SINCE NOSFERATU....YOU WANT HOW MUCH??? AND IT COMES WITH A FREE CIGAR INSIDE, TOO??? WELL SIGN ME UP!!! BURNED SO JACKED UP I CAN'T EXPLAIN, TASTE WAS NOT EVEN CLOSE TO OTHER C.A.O. LINES, THE SHAPE LOOKED LIKE SOMETHING THE GEORGE JETSONS BOSS WOULD SMOKE...THAT WAS THE BEST THING... A MARKETING PLOY THAT I FELL FOR TWICE JUST TO MAKE SURE I HAD BEEN SCREWED THE 1ST TIME!!!!!!

Review Notes: These "special edition" CAO's are disappointing. The $10-$15 asking price must be based on the shape of the cigar and the packaging. Each cigar comes in its own little wooden box called a "coffin." The cigar was ok tasting, not complex at all, perhaps a hint of cedar with a straight forward tobacco flavor, not anything near what one would expect from a CAO. There was a slight burn problem about a third of the way down, it started to "canoe." These are really more of a collector's item, because they are very pretty to look at, a unique shaped perfecto, and the little individual box is cool. BUT ... I have smoked much better tasting cigars at a fraction of the price. If you are a true collector of cigars, not just a smoker, buy one just to have the little coffin box as a souvenir, and a pretty cigar to admire ... and DON"T SMOKE IT !!! Keep it just to look at. (LOL)

Review Notes: A beautiful cigar to look at, great coffin box, beautiful band and a georgous wrapper all promise a great smoking experience. Too bad the taste doesn't deliver. This certainly is not a bad tasting cigar however there are better tasting two dollar sticks out there.
