Review Notes: Packed in a glass tube, this is a solid and well-made robusto. The draw and burn initially are excellent; the draw gets a bit firmer as you go along. It produces lots of cedary smoke. There is a predominant nutty, pistachio-like flavor throughout the smoke. The first half has accompanying dry wood and peppery notes but these become muted as a creamy character takes over. Even down at the last 2 inches it never gets hot, harsh, or mushy, a testament to this cigar's solid construction. The finish is both creamy and nutty. Overall, a medium-bodied smoke with the quality expected from C.A.O.
