CAO love

I am sorry I am not on the same page as you guys...CAO at one point in time was probably the brand I had the most of...however, with their constant willingness to reblend products whenever they feel like it...their willingness to change who rolls it for them at any given time...and their overinflated price tags have really made me walk away from the brand. I can tell you of so many of their products that were phenomenal at the time of their release only to last ten minutes before it is reblended and tastes like crap...

That is just my experience, please do not let it overshadow the product you may love...smoke what you like!

I agree Killjoy CAO makes some great smokes.

I really enjoy the Brazilias and the Golds.

Like I said in the other thread, I've enjoyed most of the CAOs I've had as well. I like the Brazilila, the Black VR and the Italia the most. I was a little underwhelmed by the America. The regular "maduro" is also pretty good (and I'm not a huge maduro fan). I was just gifted a Sopranos that I am looking forward to trying.

I think the packaging is pretty cool. I can't see how people can really knock a company for being creative.

As far as the pricing, I rarely buy cigars at MSRP. At the prices I am paying for these it is a non issue.

I used to be a huge CAO fan. When the anni came out it was my fav smoke but they changed the blend and it's not as good as I remember. Same with Brazilia. I want to try the Vision but it's way too much $. For that $ I'd rather have an opus or a pad anni. Looking forward to trying a LX2 though
