This box-pressed beauty is a pure joy. Loads of smoke, with great draw, good burn, and long ashes. A surprisingly mild cigar, spicy and chocolaty in taste with orange peel and almond overtones. A truly refreshing take on maduros. Not the slightest bit bitter or harsh on the palate. Of all the CAOs, this one may be my favorite. And for the price, it simply can’t be beat. If you’ve overlooked this line of CAOs in the past because you don’t like maduros (like I don’t), overlook no more.
