CAO America

Mr. Ed · 12-28-2008, 11:20 PM

I've had several and was not too impressed compared to some of their other smokes..

As for other CAOs, the Brazilia is nice and the Gold is a great mild smoke and I would even smoke the Italia before smoking one of the Americas.

I love the CAO's, but this one was more hype. It's a good smoke, but not a great one. They do pick up a little more flavor with some rest.

It's OK, not great. It looks better in the humi then it tastes in your mouth.

It is a good looking cigar. I have one in my humidor that I don't want to smoke because "it adds so much color!!".

Agreed. It is a good smoke, but nothing spectacular.

Yep. I thought it was an average cigar. It looks great though.

A beautiful,tasteless yet overpriced cigar imo.

As a gift, it's a really good smoke. I enjoyed my two. But to have to buy them on a regular basis, well, there are many more cheaper, better tasting sticks out there. Does have a lovely band, though.
