"great cao"
First third was a hard draw, and pretty good taste. When I got into the 2nd third, the draw and ash straightened out, and the spice kicked in. I also started getting notes of espresso on the finish. This baby kept getting better as I got into the final third with heavy spice and espresso...I even got some dark chocolate notes. I smoked it to the nub and it was impressively smooth. I give it an 8.5.

"Must Try Another..."
What a wonderful medium bodied smoke. The wrapper is slightly spicy but within one exhale through the nose it is replaced each time by a creamy, smooth almost coating of the mouth. This cigar is joy to smoke. If your looking for something a little lighter try the CAO Gold not the Maduro. It is the one with the lighter wrapper. Both are great smokes and should both be tried.

"Great tasting, but..."
This cigar is terribly constructed, and started to unravel at the cap the minute I lit it.
I had to relight it if I went more than a minute between puffs. It smoked more at the
ash than it did at the draw. FINALLY...when I got down to the last third, it started to
do OK. Would NOT buy them again.
