CAO Extreme Review

[Tw3nty]

This cigar was gifted to me in a Bomb with a Palio cutter. Only one caveat, I must write a review on the cigar.

Here we go again.


The pre-light draw left a strange taste. I almost thought the cigar was flavored. Some kind of berry flavor. Crazy because it disappeared afte i light the cigar up.

The beginning of the cigar tasted kind of chalky and strong. I was not sure If i was gonna enjoy the cigar because the beginning was so rough.


Even, after the first inch, the cigar stayed a little chalky.

As the second third of the cigar began a burn, the cigar instantly added a nice nutty taste. This nutty taste was the first and only change in the cigar. I really enjoyed this change in taste. It was almost an almond nutty taste. Kind of nice.

The last third of the cigar maintained the almond taste. No real change to the taste. I really enjoyed the almond, though.

The cigar did not smoke to the nub. It burned to hot at the end.

The construction was good other than burning hot at the end.


The cigar was an 8.5 on my non-CC rating system and and overall rating of 7.5.

Its a nice tasting stick.. Im not sure on the price point, but for around 5 to 7 dollars it a good stick.

Another well documented review.

Unfortunately, we have discontinued the CAO eXtreme brand. If you find you enjoy that cigar, I would highly recommend 'stocking up' as they are no longer in production.
