CAO Extreme????

kelmac07 · 01-07-2011, 09:52 PM

Had a BOTL shoot me a PM about this stick...and now curious as hell about getting my hands on 2 to try. Anyone have any "leads" on this stick??

Only information I can find on this stick is this...

"Introduced in 2000, CAO eXtreme blend is a full-bodied powerhouse. The final and ultimate completion of the CAO L'Anniversaire trilogy. Only the finest fifth priming Ecuadorian Sumatra Seed wrapper is handed for this cigar. This powerhouse contains five different Cuban seed Nicaraguan tobaccos featuring two different types of Ligero in the filler. The eXtreme is a full bodied cigar for those experienced smokers with a well developed palate.

Handmade in: Nicaragua
Size: 6
Strength: Medium to Full
Color: Medium Brown
Shape: Parejo Box-Pressed"

Nope, never heard of it. If you get your hands on it, please let me know and pass on some reviews brother. Now I too am curious.

I saw them at a tobacco outlet in my town a couple years ago. Don't think they are still there. I think I smoked one, but I don't remember it that well.

And Mac is on the hunt

Mac is on the hunt for something that isn't Maduro? Strange.......

Hmm you'd figure if they were introduced in 2000 someone would have written a review.

maninblack · 01-08-2011, 04:32 AM

I got one in my humi right now that I bought in a sampler last year. Never heard of it and am curious about it.

massphatness · 01-08-2011, 06:32 AM

This was one of my first "favorite" sticks, Mac. I went crazy for them. At one time they were plentiful on cbid, and I had boxes and boxes of them. As my palette evolved, I no longer sought that punched in the mouth "blam" that the eXtreme delivered, and I sold off all my boxes. But boy, I remember those things packing a wallop. I kinda remember it being similar to the EO 601 Oscuro.

You might want to check cbid - I haven't been on in a long time but I remember somehow being able to access historical data. That would at least let you know if boxes have come up recently.

I checked C-Bid last night. No go

Good luck finding these!

There may be a few still around!

This was by far my favorite CAO!

Please PM me if you get a good lead!

The last time I bought these it was from JRs!

alwayslit · 01-08-2011, 10:35 AM

Mac, from what people have told me these have not aged well. They had a limited run in 2002 I beleive.

stearns · 01-08-2011, 04:20 PM

Love these, vin screwed me on them (that is, introducing me to the suckers)

Try calling CI I'm fairly sure that was one of there big catalog sticks, they may have some laying around somewhere. Call them though im sure you won't find them on their site.

joeobx · 01-08-2011, 07:30 PM

dwcigars shows they have them. I've never had any dealings with them maybe someone else has ?

Don Fernando · 01-09-2011, 04:23 AM

Never heard of them, but it is a CAO stick so I could have lived a happy life without knowing about them anyway.

The manager of my local B&M has a few of these in the back. They are pretty tasty with age on them. They are not very strong, I think they mellowed out with age, but they are still tasty nonetheless
