Interesting Review... However...

I think you have fallen victim to a common misconception:

General Cigar Company did not buy CAO. The same company that owned CAO prior to 2010... still owns CAO. Scandinavian Tobacco Group. General Cigar Company now falls under their ownership as well.

Interestingly enough, La Traviata is still made by the same people, at the same factory with the same tobaccos that it always has been.

I think what you may be experiencing is the inherent variations of a 2 year old cigar versus a 6 month old cigar.
