it was fine

This is another masterpiece from CAO. By smoking it, I became a fan of CAO. It always serves as my perfect morning smoke. A nice and inexpensive one to replace Davidoff 2000. I got pleasant notes of woodiness and nuttiness. Burned well and contructed perfectly. It performed perfectly specially when pairing with a cup of latte.

My husband loves the CAO's and this box with free CAO lighter was the perfect Father's Day gift!

A Truly Smooth and Mild EXCELLENT Smoke. I Bought a Box of These 3 Months Ago Along With My Normal Rocky Patel, Arturo Fuente and Acid Cigars That I Like and These Are Right Up There With Them and I Only Now Have 2 Left. Definitely One of My Favorites. Time to Reorder.

All around a great cigar, I enjoy it anywhere any time. It's reliably consistent in flavor, not too strong just right.

The draw had issues as if there was some obstruction in the middle of the cigar

This is one of 3-4 brands that has found its way into my regular rotation. I smoke 2-3 cigars daily and like to start the morning with a mild, flavorful stickand this one is perfect. Even better, you can't beat the price!

None

I ordered a pack of 10 based on a recommendation from Thompson. I was extremely satisfied with this cigar. It has a consistent, mild taste. I taste hints of vanilla as well as nuts. It really goes well with a glass of my favorite Irish Whiskey. The price is affordable, making it easy to keep a couple in your humidor all the time. Based on my experience with this cigar, I will be giving some more of Thompson's recommendations a try.

Prelight, it's aroma is nondescript, perhaps vanilla. Wrapper is light colored, tight. On the cut, the first � in of wrapper disintegrated. Disappointment. Lights fairly easy and burns clean without need for touchup, with a firm draw. First taste is mild. No woody notes, just smooth and mellow. Midway it becomes a bit nutty, but still very mild. Smoke is pleasant, almost reminiscent. Ash hold tight, probably would hold on till the end if you wanted. A good smoke, should please all, and for [$] a stick, you need to keep a couple of these in the box for sure. Not sophisticated, would be great with a beer.

I liked the cigar. CAO gold, is a smooth refreshing experience. The value,was pleasing too. I would suggest. This would be your, morning/afternoon stogie.
