Default CAO 65 anniversaire robusto

Hello all, here is my second review ever.

This cigar has been in my coolidor for over 2 yeas now but I must admit that strangely enough I have a hard time keeping it at a constant humidity level. The construction is very unstable all along it's lenght and it is parcouru of many small veins and bumps. A patch of wrapper missing on the cap but thank the Lord it won't affect our journey.

The foot smells of dark cacao. I might add that it is distinctive enough for me to pin point it by myself. The pre-light a spicy on my lips almost sparkling.

I lighted the cigar and pull gently on it. As I let go of a cumulus of smoke through, I realize that it taste like a mid-summer campfire toast. You know the ones you forget because you're having a very nice chat with some pretty lady or a good friend. After that taste of memory, I smoked that stogie to the 1 inch mark. The burn was uneven but nothing that did not corrected itself on its own. The flavor stopped being raspy quite fast and some crême sure replaced it but not enough to take out the saveur of toast complètement. Past the second tiers, the bread was replaced by roasted almonds. Strange thing is, while I was writing my notes about the review, my face was above the cigar and I swear to y'all that it smelled like...a warm homemade chicken soup O.O . Needless to say I thought I was out of my mind but the smelled escaped from the filet of smoked for quite a while and was very discernible. At that point, the ashes kept flowering and as beautiful and inspiring as it was, it became very unstable. The dernier tiers kept the same saveurs with a tad more sour cream mixed in it.

All in all, this journey was not as amazing as I thought it would be. The sourness of the second and last tiers ruined it. But the memories that the first tier brought up were kinda pleasant though.

Thank you for reading my review.

Because I cant edit it now here is the corrected version of it :/

Hello all, here is my second review ever.

This cigar has been in my coolidor for over 2 yeas now but I must admit that strangely enough I have a hard time keeping it at a constant humidity level. The construction is very unstable all along it's length and it is "parcouru" of many small veins and bumps. A patch of wrapper missing on the cap but thank the Lord it won't affect our journey.

The foot smells of dark "cacao". I might add that it is distinctive enough for me to pin point it by myself. The pre-light a spicy on my lips almost sparkling.

I lit the cigar and pulled gently on it. As I let go of a cumulus of smoke though, I realize that it tasted like toast over a mid-summer campfire. You know the ones you forget because you're having a very nice chat with some pretty lady or a good friend. After that taste of memory, I smoked that stogie down to the 1 inch mark. The burn was uneven but nothing that did not corrected itself on its own. The flavor stopped being raspy quite quickly and some "crême sure" replaced part of it but not enough to take out the "saveur" of toast "complètement". Past the second "tiers", the bread was replaced by roasted almonds. Strange thing is, while I was writing my notes about the review, my face was above the cigar and I swear to y'all that it smelled like...a warm homemade chicken soup O.O . Needless to say, I thought I was out of my mind but the smell escaped from the "filet" of smoke for quite a while and was very discernible. At that point, the ashes kept flowering and as beautiful and inspiring as it was, it became very unstable. The "dernier tiers" kept the same "saveurs" with a tad more sour cream mixed in it.

All in all, this journey was not as amazing as I thought it would be. The sourness of the second and last "tiers" ruined it. But the memories that the first tier brought up were kinda pleasant though.

Thank you for reading my review.

I take full responsibility for this lapse in time! :P

I must say the toast on the campfire flavor... I wanna try!

I'm not going to google all the words I am unfamiliar with, but I think I got the gist of the review.
This was a cigar I was never interested in due to personal feelings about:
-You don't throw your own birthday party, and you don't make your own birthday cigar.
-You are obviously very conceited to put your own picture on the band and tube in a tuxedo with a ship eating grin.
I had one that was gifted and my thoughts ran very close to yours. Continue to do reviews; you have a unique perspective.
