Ferdie, thanks for all your reviews.

These sticks need extensive aging. A couple months is not enough. I let a couple marinate for about 4 months and they were dynamite. I've tried them on receipt and after a few weeks and I didn't like them.

Philip, trust me, this one had more time than 4 months, at least 2 and a half years, and it still sucked.

:tpd: The Liberty actually took the foul taste of the CAO America out of my mouth and saved the 4th of July American stick theme for me.

I have smoked a Camacho liberty on the 4th for the past few years. Definitely something to look forward to each year.

I have enjoyed most of the CAO sticks that I have had. This was one of the few that I did not like. I didnt like this and the saprano. I thought the saprano was maybe a $5 stick at best. Way over priced but there your paying for the name. I was excited to try this one and it was a huge let down. Great review again!

That's so odd. This tells me that the manufacturing of the cigar is not consistent. Quality control is lax.
I believe you. They probably spend more time worrying about the pin stripe than the ingredients.
