Just as I remembered from past purchases.

Great draw, great flavor, great smoke.

Liked this cigar. Draw , flavor and smoke all good. Will buy again. Jack

My husband likes the product we purchase from Thompson. That's why we keep ordering. He also shares them with his friends.

Love these

The cigar isn't bad but by the time we get them through shipping which takes to long there dried out. They have to sit in humidor for a week before you can smoke one.

Well constructed, very tasty. I will buy this one again.

Good cigar for fishing or golfing. No issues.

The cigar is not rapped tight enough and you end up with tobacco in your mouth

Another great smoke

To relax and enjoy on weekends

GREAT PRICE AND FLAVOR ONLY DRAWBACK IS THE TIGHT DRAW WHICH HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FOR YEARS. USE A PAPER CLIP TO OPEN IT UP.

This is a great allround stick that you could go for anytime. I wouldn't consider this a special occasion smoke but one I'm not ashamed to pull from the humidor. Nice even flavor throughout. Hints of Leather, Spice and a (what i can only describe as) a woodsy vanilla flavor. I had a wrapper issue happen about half way through my first stick. It just peeled off as if it were dry. I look forward to trying another and hope this doesn't replicate itself. OVerall this is a great smoke for all.

Despite it's imperfections I had to give this one 5 Stars on flavor alone. I still have another so hopefully that ones a bit better constructed & in better condition because these are a cigar I could get use to smoking everyday & something I'm definitely buying a box of in the future. I also have a couple CAO MX2 to try out but figured I'd give an honest review before comparing it. The flavor was excellent I thought, nearly perfect despite the fact I tend to prefer to strong smokes. It had a pleasantly smooth taste, it was rather quite mild so they nailed this one by calling it a Medium Strength smoke. The wrapper did have some imperfections & cracks, @ one point the ash was literally split in two, it had an extremely firm draw... chances are I just got a bad one and because it was an absolutely delightful smoke it gets 5 stars from me. The CAO Gold just might end up becoming one of my favorite Maduros. If you like Maduros you definitely have try these.

A very nice Maduro cigar. Medium to full flavor. good for every day or that special occasion.

I have tried the CAO MX2 and the CAO Gold. I like both of these cigars, but the MX2 is my favorite. [...]
