When I joined the late Club Stogie I got a private message from Eric, owner of Kioki Cigars, asking me for my address for a welcome package. I didn't know anything about bombs and gave my address. Eric bombed the **** out of me and included in his bomb was this limited edition CAO Tony Soprano. Now I am not a CAO fan, but I am a Soprano fan so I was looking forward to this 6½x60 monster. And I read comments from other CAO haters that they liked both this and the La Traviata. I like the La Traviata too, so I hoped I would like this puppy too.
![]() The cigar looks great, a dark oily wrapper with just a few veins and three stylish band. The CAO band is nice with two thin bands on the big logo, then there is a band with the signature of Tony Soprano and the foot is protected by another big band which says "limited edition". The construction feels good. The predraw doesn't give me any problems and tastes like raisin. I smell a barnyard aroma on the cigar. ![]() I taste a mild to medium coffee flavor and after an inch and a half the flavor changes to earth. ![]() Halfway the cigar gets a bit sweet and after ⅔ I can also taste some wood. Such a big cigar, so little taste and development in flavors. ![]() I wasted two good hours of my life on this very flat cigar. The draw is good but I only got a poor amount of thin smoke. The ash is light colored and firm. The burn of this mild to medium bodied and mild to medium flavored cigar is good. ![]() Would I buy this cigar again? Hell no. I loved the series, I hate the cigars Appearance: 8 / 10 Construction: 7 / 10 Draw: 7 / 10 Burn: 7 / 10 Smoke & ash: 5 / 10 Aroma first part: 5 / 10 Aroma second part: 5 / 10 Aroma third part: 6 / 10
