The cigar draws well , but is flavorless and it is like smoking a paper bag. No wonder it was so cheap.

This was a gift for my hubby. I think the smell is ok, considering I don't like the smell of almost all cigars. He says the flavor and burn are very good.

Absolutely loved this cigar! Very smooth, yet full of flavor. May very well add to my club go-to. Smells great and retained the same great flavor all the way thru to the end.

The CAO Gold is a great everyday cigar. Nice mild flavor that continues to the end. Easy draw and moderately priced. I always make sure there are always a few in my humidor.

I prefer full strength cigars but smoke one or two of these coronas everyday due to time constraints. Completely satisfying and an outstanding value. One of my top three favorite smokes.

Really nice and flavorful cigar. Looks great, smells great, taste great, burns evenly, and puts off a lot of smoke. The one thing I'd tell someone that was buying some would be to let them rest/season in your humidor for a while. When I got my order, they were a little dry.

Let this one rest in the humidor for a few months or more. It's much better IMO...

Shipping of this order was a significant problem. I specified UPS (or FedEx) shipping and provided an address that is not a US Postal Service address (shipping services will deliver to the address but USPS will not). Thompson shipped by USPS. After I realized what had happened I contacted Thompson and they reshipped my cigars, but this ultimately took several weeks to rectify. Two suggestions to Thompson: (1)Ship the way you say you will. (2)Provide a 'special instruction' section in your on line order form (as many on line vendors do). Since I've had this problem before, I always explain the shipping requirements when space is provided to do so.

Good cigar overall. My only complaint is it is a firm to hard draw.

This cigar rides the average bus on a good day. There was nothing really special about the flavor and the draw was extremely firm. If you're looking for a mild smoke, I'd recommend the Cusano 18 Robusto Connecticut.

Too firm a draw and lack of flavor. Flavor did not build until the bottom 2 inches. I would reccommend to choose another CAO product or different brand.

like some others ,i found this cigar in a sample pack. wich is the reason i diddnt try it for a while because i usually only buy one or two cigars at a time when im trying new stuff. but im glad i did. i thought i really liked the rp 1961 until i smoked this one. normally i would drink coffee when i smoked cigars but with this one i smoke it until im almost done then drink the coffee. the only problem is ,sometimes the wrapper comes apart a little, but not so bad you cant smoke it.

I enjoy smoking at the golf course and after meetings at my Lodge.Almost everyone that is around me ,at either,want to know what they are,and want to to try them.Great flavor,nice draw,burn evenly...everyone loves them! The only negative,is that a few of the cigars started unwrapping while being smoked.I checked my humidor,and it was fine (75% humidity)

I thought I'd try this cigar and I was certainly not disappointed. This is an exceptionally smooth smoke and has plenty of flavor for all tastes. CAO GOLD is absolutely one of the finest cigars I have had the pleasure to smoke.

Great little smoke. Received this in a sampler pack. I found the cigar to be well constructed and with great flavor. The taste did however seem to remain long after I was done which I did not care for. Because I am new to cigars I tend to migrate toward milder smokes. This fit the bill.
