CAO Sopranos
 

Anyone tried this cigar and is it any good?

Re: CAO Sopranos
 

I love them

Re: CAO Sopranos
 

CAO's best cigar imo

Re: CAO Sopranos
 

I'm not a fan, but then again I've only tried one. It was very musty and earthy, much like a Gurkha.

Re: CAO Sopranos
 

there's a place right next to where i work that got a boxes 'o them and im debating if ill try 'em or not

Re: CAO Sopranos
 

nice that will help me alot since i like the Gurkhas

Re: CAO Sopranos
 

These are legit!

Re: CAO Sopranos
 

They rock for the first 1/2 inch and then they turn into plain ole boring CAO.

Re: CAO Sopranos
 

If you actually like Gurkha, then go for it.

Re: CAO Sopranos
 

I got some resting now from this pretty good deal to try some: CAO The Sopranos Edition Boss + 5-Pack Offer
$30.00

Re: CAO Sopranos
 

well i tried 2 and liked them and from what i heard you either LOVE Gurkhas or you do not there is no inbetween

Re: CAO Sopranos
 

One of my favorite CAO's next to the Brazilia.

Re: CAO Sopranos
 

hate it..maybe the worst ''premium'' cigar ive ever had..blark!!

Re: CAO Sopranos
 

premium? what do you mean?

Re: CAO Sopranos
 

They aren't bad.

Re: CAO Sopranos
 

so called premiums...but more of a marketing scheme than a good stick

Re: CAO Sopranos
 

since they were selling the only the box and not singles i bought a Mx2 toro 'n a Brazili box press instead. we'll see how it goes

Re: CAO Sopranos
 

Mx2 is ok..the brazil is the only great CAO out there

Re: CAO Sopranos
 

well i'll have to double check that. you think i should let 'em rest a bit?

Re: CAO Sopranos
 

nope...smoke while there still good!

Re: CAO Sopranos
 

They are a good smoke - a little inconsistent though. When they are really on they are really good and when they are a little off they are still a pretty good stick. Given the price I wish they were more consistent though.

Re: CAO Sopranos
 

i'll keep that in mind if i ever get to see a place where they sell em in singles

Re: CAO Sopranos
 

:tpd:

Re: CAO Sopranos
 

Just me but I find all of them seem to smoke better if they rest for at least 30-60 days. I rarely smoke anything on arrival unless it is just one I pick up at the B&M to enjoy right away.

Re: CAO Sopranos
 

I gotta disagree with this statement... I think they make quite a few really good sticks, ie Italia, Brazilia, Mx2, Lx2, America. They do have some over hyped crap but I do enjoy a few of their products.

Re: CAO Sopranos
 

I have had good experience with most of them too and several are really good but I have some Gold Maduro's that are pretty sorry.

Re: CAO Sopranos
 

all good comments! i cant wait to be able to smoke those... i'm at work atm alone in the darn building with NOTHING to do minus write on this board!! i cant even watch hockey!!

2 more hours to go..

Re: CAO Sopranos
 

CAO makes some good sticks, just maybe not as good as their marketing departments.

The Sopranos are pretty good. If you are looking to give them a try, you might want to look for the sampler CAO released with each of the vitolas. I found some at JR a while ago at a pretty good price. I'm guessing they were looking to move the last of the inventory.

Re: CAO Sopranos
 

no JR here sorry

:(

Re: CAO Sopranos
 

Ahhh, just noticed the location. I don't suppose that is Quebec, North Carolina . . . nope. Probaly not.

Good luck in your search. I would add that the comparison to Gurhka is pretty solid. Stronger, earthy smoke. Good flavor, IMHO.

Re: CAO Sopranos
 

I used to like them a lot when I was smoking NC.

Re: CAO Sopranos
 

I've been wanting to try them myself. Heard lot's of good things. I think the CI +5 deal is good but I've seen a box of them on cigarmonster for a sweet price the other day. It was still out of my box range though.

Re: CAO Sopranos
 

Re: CAO Sopranos
 

I like them- altho the "Tony Soprano" is almost too big!

Re: CAO Sopranos
 

tks for the review Sean. every review that i read on this one gives me the same verdict... first half good the other isnt

Re: CAO Sopranos
 

I enjoyed them, but the price tag for what they are I didn't agree with.

Re: CAO Sopranos
 

Limited Edition Sopranos, 2 bats, 2 champagne bottles and a huge bullet.

Re: CAO Sopranos
 

:O

good Lord are those all cigars?

Re: CAO Sopranos
 

yes, can't imagine smoking a 150 ring gauge champange bottle hahaa

Re: CAO Sopranos
 

i cannot sorry ;)

Re: CAO Sopranos
 

cao is the worst...sorry...then gurkha!

Re: CAO Sopranos
 

Sopranos are one of the better CAOs that I've tried.

I keep Brazilias in stock, but recently went for the CI
deal pointed out by captain53.

Most CAOs are bland, IMHO. But there are so many
CAO blends that you may find one or two of interest.

AFA Gurkhas, I keep Ancient Warriors in stock, and
don't mind the Royal Brigade perfecto and Nepalese
Warriors.
Gurkha is another brand with too many blends.

Chemyst :cool:

Re: CAO Sopranos
 

:tpd:
not a bad stick but would are they worth it? You be the judge, it wasn't for me.

Re: CAO Sopranos
 

I concur

Re: CAO Sopranos
 

I dont mind some of CAOs lines. However the MX2 rocked my world. WOW what a kick ass maduro!
