This is one of my favorite cigars. CAO has discontinued the line and Thompson is the only place I can find them I would prefer a Toro or Pyramid but the Robosto is great smoke. It burns longer than the average Robusto as well. Grab some while you can

I was first attracted to the CAO Pato because of its name. Pato is the Spanish word for duck. However it is also a derogatory slang word. Enough to peak my curiosity. The Pato is the perfect morning cigar. It lasts about 4 minutes. It is a medium blend. The Nicaragua/Criollo blend is easy to deal with in the morning. Although it is a Robusto, it is 1/8 of an inch short of 5 inches, and the band size is a wee bit thin. CAO is also known for a diverse selection of interesting cigars. I was initially attracted by the name, but found a good friend.

I have always liked CAO Criollo as it is a smooth mild smoke. I usually go for a cheaper smoke for everyday but the deal Thompson's was running was too good!

I have been smoking cigars for around 25 years. Never really buy boxes because I'm always looking for the ultimate smoke. Bought this box due to the price. Better choices for a cigar at this price range.

some of the cigars are better than the others. Out of the 3 I smoked 1 tuned out to be a disappointment, with draw and construction issue. If I were to rate this cigar from scale of 1 to 10, it would be a solid 7.

This one came to me by an email special. I couldn't really find anything about them but it was a good deal and I like having discount stuff to give away so I figured why not. Great packaging and good looking cigar. The flavor of the wrapper on the lips is peppery and earthy. The first third is a little peppery and woodsy for my normal tastes but it levels out and turns creamy with cocoa. The pepper is nearly gone by the halfway point. Last third the char/tar starts to become a little more noticeable which is common for me having a heavy draw and no patience.

I bought these cigars when they advertised on sale at $30 off a box, I had smoked CAO before and their whole line of cigars are fantastic, including this one. It has a really nice draw and an even burn and a real nice creamy spot towards the end.

This was a great cigar. Wonderful flavors that you can actually pick up without studying your palette like a textbook. The draw did get a bit firm near the wrapper but it wasn't too big of an issue, still had a great amount of smoke output and held a razor sharp burn the whole time with no relights.

Great taste, not super complex but nice and spicy, even burn, cool to the end. Mild flavor but this is definitely a sit-down cigar, lots of kick. Received 3 in sample packs and am saving the other 2 for special occasions.
