Flavours CAO

[hotreds]

Welcome aboard. You'll find that many here don't care for flavored cigars. That being said, smoke what you like and like what you smoke! I buy those CAOs and the Acids for the troops, as they seem to love that type of cigar. It seems that many younger, newbie smokers start with the flavoreds, then move on to the "pure tobacco" cigars as they get more and more into the hobby.

You should come and herf with us in Cinci one of these days! Used to go to the Indy Airshow in Greenfield every year- sad that it has closed its doors for good!

I often use an analogy when describing flavored smokes to people not in the know. To me, flavored cigars are like flavored coffee creamer. It's designed for people who don't like the original flavor of the coffee…or brew bad coffee and are trying to make it palatable. I don't think they're using über great leaves for flavored smokes. The ones I've had tasted like flavored creamer in bad coffee. And I just couldn't get past the poor tobacco.

YMMV

That's a pretty good way to describe it. I'm a new smoker, and have tried my fair share of CAO Flavours and Acids. If you like them, great. But, once you find a premium cigar you like, you'll rarely, if ever, go back to flavored sticks. For me, it was a RyJ Habana Reserve....AMAZING.

If you like the Habano reserve, try the San Lotano Habano. Mmmmm.
