  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Decent taste, good draw, terrible burn needing almost constant attention, thus likely poor construction.

Very disappointing.

Used to love CAO's, and always had quality construction, but this one certainly didn't.

Pitched it at about the halfway mark when I got sick of correcting the burn, and it developed a strong, poor taste I usually only get during the last inch or so of a Cigar, telling me its finished.

Has CAO gone downhill over the last 10 years, or was this just a dud?

CAO has went down hill. The Italian and Brazil no longer taste the same and they all need months of rest to compete with other brands. CAO is now made to a price point and not a quality standard in my opinion.

Sad to hear, but thanks for saving me from wasting my money on trying more
