"From the first puff...it's way too harsh"

Bad after taste & harshness is what comes to mind when I think of this cigar. With liking the quite a few of the other CAO's (Criollo, Bazilia, Maduro, Mx2 & Gold), I was surprised this wasn't one of them.

"my first and last cao camaroon"

Im not sure what the deal was, but i did not enjoy this smoke. I was expecting a smooth creamy smoke, but it came out harsh, very peppery, and spicy. That might fit ones fancy, but not mine.

"Awesome, Very Smooth and leaves your mouth"

Great cigar. The drag and construction is very good, burn is ok. The taste is very good, smooth but not spicy enough. Overall i'll give it a 9/10.

"Very Smooth"

This is a very smooth smokeing cigar...Not as good as smoking a Cohiba with the cameroon wrapper...But this a fine cigar

"Quite Frankly I'm Shocked"

Having spent the better part of the last three trying just about every cigar I could get my hands on, I found the CAO brand the most consistent, even burning and flavorful cigars available. From the Cameroon, to the CX2, Brasilia, Criollo and the others, CAO maintains a level of quality not found in other brands. My kudos to CAO and keep up the good work.

"One of my favorites"

Right off the bat the draw of this cigar grabbed my attention. Smooth,effortless, and lots of flavor. Burned smooth all the way, slowly changed character,for the better, right to the itty bitty nub. After smoking thousands of cigars I still don't know much about tastes of cedar, wood, leather, nuts, pepper, etc. but I know what I like, and this rates right up at the top. Price is right too.

"Absolutely stunning Flavor"

Smoked 3 now. The myriad of flavors in this cigar is easily distinguishable but match very well like cookies and milk. You will definitely taste the chocolaty undertones and toasty flavors no matter how unrefined your palate is. I imagine myself working in a Bakery in the 20's and am taking a break to have a puff and am inhaling the bakery air. Yes, it is that flavorful! I love these cigars but consistency appears to be an issue. I Purchased 3 Robustos from 3 different shops (All 3 reputable and well kept Humidors). First 2 were absolutely fantastic. Great end to end smoke, and consistent flavor all the way down. Construction was a bit shoddy on all 3, as the wrapper started to flake mid-smoke (maybe I'm just a bit rough on them?). The 3rd tasting (actually bought a box of 20 this time) though pleasant, was not nearly as flavorful as the prior two. It was almost as if I was smoking a completely different cigar! I am going to try out another this weeked and I'll repost if it was a fluke or my palate was off.

"Superb Quality"

The CAO Cameroon Robusto is fine example of above-average all-around quality. An almost perfect burn and good draw compliment the taste which starts out as cedary with a touch of pepper and then opens up into a dark roast coffee and nutmeg. There is an undercurrent of leather and chocolate throughout. While I have enjoyed most of CAO lines, the Cameroon, in my opinion, is by far the best they have to offer with the robusto and toro sizes really standing out.

"A Very Rich Cigar"

Because they may be too snug as a box-pressed, I have found they burn better if allowed to loosen up from outside the box. The draw and burn is perfect. It has a very rich, thick smoke and a short, dry finish - not a negative. It's like a dry wine with a character all its own. It gains momentum along the way and becomes quite full bodied by the end. It's very complex. Definitely a super premium cigar and one to keep around for special occasions. Available and at a good price too. Can't wait to try a CAO Extreme.

"awsome cigar"

this cigar is one of my favorite it taste awsome draw is excellent and burns great you get what you pay for i highly recommend this cigar
