Alright, so I've been on a bit of reviewing streak lately, and today wasn't that cold so I though I'd contribute some more. Today I smoked the CAO America. It has a gorgeous barber-pole design to it, which makes it visually appealing. The cigar was firm to the touch, but not rock-hard like the brazilia I had the other day.
This cigar runs at 6 1/4'' with a generous 54 ring-gauge.
The cigar lit up quite nicely, presenting some earthy flavors, mixed with nice tobacco and hay, and a slight spice through the nose. Very nice, suprisingly creamy ambient smoke coming off of it.
Nice, nippy day here in Albany, NY
The second third presented similar earthy flavors, with a hearty tobacco finish. Much more spice came through this third, which was a very pleasant surprise.
The ash was very white which also added to the presentation. I grayed it up a bit though with a few touch-ups throughout the cigar.
The last third was similar, yet presented a bit less spice. Overall, this was a very tasty cigar. Not much along the lines of diversity, but enough to keep me interested!
It's just good to be smoking again...it's been SO very cold.
As you can see here, I finished just in time
I would definitely give this cigar another go if given the chance. The consistent, yet interesting taste, along with the superb construction and feel hooked me. I'll definitely keep my eyes peeled for one at a reasonable price! (definitely not while I'm in NY!!)
Hope you guys enjoyed another review, and keep your eyes peeled for the next one!!
