For my cigar I haven't smoked before review I've chosen the CAO Soprano Soldier
Size: Toro 6"x54
Wrapper: Brazillian mata fina
Binder: Dominican
Filler: Columbian, Dominican, Nicaraguan
Prelight: I'm super excited about this one I bought it about 8 months ago purely because it has a Brazillian mata fina wrapper, which I have yet to be disappointed by. Cut with my Cuban crafters perfect cut. Draw is nice. Earthy flavor on the dry draw.
First third: Starts of with strong leather with hints of coffee and coco. First ash falls off about 1/2 inch in and the burn requires a touch up.
Second third: The coffee comes in a little more in this third. Still mainly leather.
Final third: Leather till it gets too hot and I have to put it down. Was smoking this bad boy too fast trying to keep it lit. smoking time was about a hour fifteen which is quick for me on a smoke this size.
Final thoughts: this cigar was disappointing to me, it was the most ho-hum stick with a mata fina wrapper I've had. For the price I would recommend trying a Man O War Armada.
Also gotta give a shout out to my favorite herfing partner "Buddy"
