"5 out of ten"

as advertised this is a mellow cigar. does not draw as well as macanudo s or ashtons and taste is a little off. in short you get what you pay for,

"rate it excellent"

excellent cigars order was fast and very prompt

"The draw is very inconsistent!"

Better than good but less than excellent.

"great"

This is honestly one of the best I ve had.

"Woody, mild-medium, good taste, bad wrap."

Draw top tight, wrapper tears with literally graze of a short male fingernail, and there is no development other than stronger wood flavor building into final third. Decent, mild, would go good with straight tequila or whiskey IMO.

"Just right!"

I haven t had a bad CAO Gold yet. Every Gold I have smoked has been some of the very best handmade cigars I ve tried. The Conn wrapper is one of the creamiest and flawless ones I ve ever seen on any cigar. This cigar is a little misleading though. It does have a mildness and creamy taste but under that hood sits a Nicarguan flavor bomb that pumps the nicoteen up a few notches. The aroma is sweet cedar and new leather, with some pepper and spice lightly interlaced. The ash is snow white and will hold for more than 2 inche. This cigar has become one of my favorites! No draw problems ever.

"Terrible construction"

Bought a box of these. Have smoked 2 and both wrappers completely disintegrated. Will be returning them.

"plugged !!"

These cigars are all plugged. I smoked 3 so far and every one had a horrible draw due to a plug. Maybe more time in the humidor is ok but I didnt like these at all ..

"Another excellent cigar from cao"

If you like mild cigars these folks make the very best. This one is a great smoke, good flavor, good draw, and great aroma. This is a good 30 minutes cigar. If you want a longer smoke try the double gold corona.

"Not too Bad"

This Cigar is not too bad. Did finish a little "ashy" but most cigars leave me that way. Burned well, actually really well, not many that I had to relight. However I did find myself starting but not finishing quite a few.
