CAO Maduro Block Press Does The Job
April 2012 - Posted by The Cigar Intelligence Agency
CIGAR REVIEW - At CIA we are big fans of CAO's Italia but our feelings changed after trying on Traviata which was a very shocking finding...
But here is this very smooth filtered smoke with a highly pleasurable wooden taste to make us feel slightly better about CAO latest blends.
We are not as excited as some of other press partners that engaged in the usual grading (always 90 if you advertise with us) and results in unfortunate hype.
After explaining to so many people that we don't really care and the fact that we do not make any money to say this or that... It became obvious that certain brands are severely overrated.
CAO is a an all time American favorite brand but we are watching and we hope many smokes with more interesting blends will come out.
We wish all brands were on point but often not the case.
To summarize about this smoke it it solid and its wrapper is neatly perfected. This is a decent Maduro cigar with a very deep smoke and great draw. Well crafted but has a lack of picked up flavors in the blend that makes it fall off from our top list.
TOTAL = 83%
RECOMMENDED = Fair
