I don't have much experience with CAO but I have been enjoying the Brazilia Gol lately, they are excellent bang for your buck. Try one of those out.

Honorable mention ---- 10th Anni gold perfectos - out of production (still got 2 boxes)

Winner is - Xtreme (long out of production' one box of coronas, I think, left and a bunch of pretties left)

I'd say most people find CAO's products to perform well, burn evenly, draw well, etc.

as far as which blends to try, I'd say try all that aren't flavored and make up your own mind on the topic. Samplers can be found pretty affordable...

CI- CAO DREAM TEAM SAMP
FAMOUS "BEST OF CAO" SAMP #1
MIKE'S CAO SAMPs

Maybe give them a shot and see which does best by you...

I haven't had a CAO in so long I have no idea which one I liked. I think I remember liking the Cameroon (L'anniversaire) though.

Here's a shot of the Maduro CAO Gold 10th anniversary:

These are not the same as the regular production golds. The 10th Anni's ended production in '07.

Only memorable CAO's I've had were eXtreme and 65th Anni - both long gone.
LX2 in the Bam (PC) size wasn't too bad. And the Black VR Five Fathom size was OK back in the day, but tried one recently and it was nothing like I remember.
I avoid the brand completely now.
