Re: CAO Reviews?
Had the MX2 and Gold and Brazilia, I liked em pretty good.

Re: CAO Reviews?
Only one I've had that has impressed me was the Italia.
The rest are 'meh'. And yes, I've tried the Brazilia, MX2, LX2, Gold, Black & some others that escape me at the moment. |
Re: CAO Reviews?
I like the Brazilias if I am looking for something spicy.
I have had the CX2s, MX2s, Italias, Maduros, Sopranos, Criollos and didn't like any of them, even before I cut back on my NC smoking. |
Re: CAO Reviews?
I'm biased. I like every damn one of them but the Sopranos,Brazilia, MX2, CX2, and La Traviata are my faves.
|
Re: CAO Reviews?
LX2, Brazilia, La Traviata, Gold Maduro, Criollo = Good in my book
Soprano = good but overpriced America = OK MX2 = Not very good IMO That's all I've tried so far. :tu |
Re: CAO Reviews?
seems like the Brazilia's are the ones that you guys like a lot. i will have to get one soon.

Re: CAO Reviews?
CAO use to make great cigars. Since there 2nd buy out their cigars have NOT impressed me.
I still love the CAO Soprano even though they do not make it anymore. The LX2 is a great smoke. Other than that they have gone down hill :2 ;s |
Re: CAO Reviews?
Another CAO will never touch my lips again... but that's just me. :td

Though despite the price, the Vision and Soprano are pretty damn good. CI has been dishing out deals on the Sopranos line since the latest buyout of both companies (CI&CAO). If you can get a box of Visions near $120, that's pretty much what I think they're worth (the humidor was selling at $60 on ebay for a while, though be aware the hygrometer isn't accurate, I still say the box alone is worth $30+). They are great cigars once aged for a year. |
Re: CAO Reviews?
has CAO always put out quality cigars?

BTW, CI has a decent sampler with most of the regular production sticks. That's how I first tried them. IIRC, it was 4 each of the Black, VR, Brazilia, Italia, and Gold. Posted via Mobile Device |
Re: CAO Reviews?
Well starting with the standard adage: Like what you smoke and smoke what you like.... I wouldn't let a CAO pass my lips. I have smoked about 7 - 8 differnt ones and all were crap to me. On the other hand, many others like them. I'd say pick out a few and see what grabs you.
edit: I just noticed Bax's post.... Glad I'm not the only one :) Quote:

Re: CAO Reviews?
I have only tried 3 blends from CAO, and I loved all of them. I tried the Italia Gondolas, Anniversary Cameroons and Brazilia Lambada's. I cannot recommend one over the other, as they are all different, but awesome. I am quite happy with CAO for the moment, despite hearing mixed comments. I would like to try the La Traviata, MX2 and LX2 in the near future.

Re: CAO Reviews?
early on, i would smoke some CAOs - golds, italias, brazilias. now, they just bore me. my opinion, they're better at marketing than they are at blending/creating cigars.

C'mon..no love for CAO's? J/K, like Volt said, Like what you smoke, smoke what you like.

Re: CAO Reviews?
Brazilia and MX2 are some good cigars and I've heard some good things about the Traviata. I figure though some might let the band get in the way of their smoking experience.
|
Re: CAO Reviews?
CAO is a solid brand. It's worth a sample of each stick to see what you think. I love a lot of expensive stuff, but I still smoke a ton of CAO/Rocky Patel/Perdomo/etc.
I love: Black Brazilia Gold (aged 2002) I really like: Soprano Itaila robusto MX2 LX2 Criollo (aged 2004) I like: Cameroon Maduro Gold (fresh) America I have NOT YET HAD the La Traviata or the Vision, which are two of their most highly-rated cigars. I'm particularly interested in trying the La Traviata, since the price point is so nice. |
