CAO Criollo

[klmhoward]

Has anybody tried these yet???? Any thoughts?

I like them.

I have the torpedo in the humi. Have smoked one so far and enjoyed it.

Have one in the humi, still haven't tried it. One of these days!

I have tried a couple and found them to be a good smoke.....not a great smoke but decent.

I haven't smoked CAO's in over three years. However, these were my favorites.

I really dig 'em. A nice spicy tang with some underlying sweetness. Some subtle earthiness. Strong enough to follow a good meal but won’t make you blow chunks if you smoke one on an empty stomach. Dare I say...more Cuban-esque than a lot of Nicaraguans.

This is probably one of the most underrated CAO cigars. It doesn't get the press of the Italia or the Brazilia but it is just as good of a cigar. A good Medium Bodied smoke.

I'll go ahead and re-post this here.

Just smoked another one of these (conquistador) this weekend. Very nice smoke with some tanginess to it. My take on this cigar coincides almost perfectly with N-Tron's.

Love the spiciness and great flavor of this over-looked cigar.
