CAO Black Corona

Had a long day at work and a 20 minute drive home. I reached for the CAO black as I figured I could polish this bad boy off within that time. By the time I pulled into the house I was buzzing with feeling. This gar will relax you to the max if inhaled as quickly as I did. It was a med-full body gar with excellent draw and plenty of smoke, good contruction and a very even burn. Id like to try a larger version over a longer period of time to get a true experience. But if you are looking for a good tasting gar that will make you feel like you just drank 10 beers, this one will do it (if smoked in 25 minutes.)

At $3 a pop, these sticks are pretty darn good. I disagree with many of the reviews that say this is a medium to full bodied smoke. Seemed much more light bodied to me. I did have a issue with the wrapper cracking, even though it was humidified between 65 - 70%.

The CAO black is a little hard to find these days. Seems like not many places have them. This is a decent smoke (as most CAO's are). Nothing truly amazing, but good. Sort of a medium-bodied floral and woody taste. Very CAO tasting, if you've ever had any of their other ones.
Burn and construction are very good.
Overall I think this isn't one of CAO's best smokes (prob have to go with the Brazilia there although I havent tried all the lines), but this one is worth trying.

The COA Black corona was a strong cigars but not a smooth cigar. The cigars started with some harshness and got harsher a it smoked. The wrapper split as they were smoked. Definitely not my taste in cigar.

Typical CAO product, little higher cost, alot higher quality.
For a black this is an excellent cigar, lavish smoke, good draw, very good taste.

This cigar slots somewhere between the Gold and the Maduro lines. Mild/Medium is the best description. All the Blacks that I have had have had really nice wrappers, solid feel, and effortless draw. When a deal is had on CBid, that is the icing on the cake.

Worth the $3.50 paid. Interesting flavor, kinda woody. Great construction.

This is a fine example of a classic CAO Black, this small ring stogie came on pretty strong for it's size and I love it. It's got some good spice taste along with some wood and vinilla and even a touch of leather as noted by another BOTL's review. The construction was very good nice burn, weak ash at first that got better. Overall a very nice smoke.

This cigar had some kick right from the first drag. It leaned toward full bodied and had some coffee flavors in the start but moved to woodsy and leathery as the smoke continued. The construction and burn were good. My only disapointment was in the finish, with the strengthat the lighting, I expected a much stronger finish. But, overall a good value for the money.

Medium strength with an intriguing, unique taste and smooth finish. Draw started off good but got a bit tighter which was its only flaw. Enjoyed it down to the nub

Though IMHO, to fully enjoy this cigar, it is best done with the wider ring variety, this gem offers a medium to full bodied smoke, decently spicy, and consistent flavor.

People aronmd me when I smoke one can't believe it's not Cuban
