theonlybear4CORT · 12-28-2008, 11:02 PM

Its been a while since I have smoked one but I think I liked it.so I got a 5er resting for the forth of July.

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.
