Review Notes: I first had one of these a couple years ago shortly after trying the CAO gold. I was pleasantly surprised then as I am now. The flavor is very distinct with a very strong almond nutty flavor, but still maintains a smooth draw. The cigar is certainly different looking from your everyday cigars, and now comes at a great price. I can regularly find these for $4.25 or less and at that price it is a value hard to beat. It is a bid strong for those who enjoy a mild cigar and a bit tame for those who prefer a full flavor. However, it should satisfy most who enjoy a nice complex flavor. Certainly holds a constant place in my humidor.
