CAO Maduro Robusto (http://cigarjack.typepad.com/cigar_blog/2005/01/cao_maduro_robu.html)
This cigar is a beautiful box pressed cigar with a very dark maduro wrapper. Prior to lighting it I could pick up hints of spice in the wrapper. It burned okay but did require a couple minor touch ups. I didn't have any problems with draw or falling apart.
The cigar gave off a decent amount of smoke that reminded me of the smell of baking sour dough bread. I didn't really pick up any hints of pepper and it did not burn my throat at all. Espresso and a dark chocolate flavor were the boldest flavors in this cigar with some nutty flavors coming out in the last half.
Overall this was a very enjoyable smoke and got smoked down well past the band. I enjoyed the flavors of the cigar and it is also very affordable. The only drawback was that it did not as evenly as I would have liked. I give this cigar an 8 out of 10.
