"Maybe its just not for me"
I guess I am spoiled by a more robust cigar, but I found some of these at a local B&M and bought a few. let them sit in the humi for a few months. Other than cream with cedar, I did not notice much other flavor. No spice, or citrus. The first third I felt like I was sucking air and did not get a lot of flavor until half way through. Construction was a tad loose - cigar feels soft, but burn was very even on all of them that I smoked. I just expected more. Ive had other camaroon wrapped sticks that had a lot better flavor. If you like cammies, I am sure this one will fit you like a glove. Its a very, VERY MILD smoke.

"CAO meets Fuente"
Started with coffee and cedar. Held a 2 and a half inch ash. Very well made cigar. Burn, draw, wrapper is fabulous. middle third had some floral notes and spice(almost cinnamon) . Reminded very very much of Fuente cigars with the floral aftertaste. Any Fuente lover would like this cigar.

"One fine Cammie"
Wow I really like this smoke long and smooth, with that delicious cammie taste. Very creamy with a hint of spice and wonderful cocoa and coffee flavors to it. The construction was perfect and the burn straight . This one also smells great. If you like cammies you'll really like this one.

"classic"
A classic cameroon.
Nice box construction and burn. Uniform, creamy, light-grey ash.
Rich, creamy, exotic spice, loads of cinnamon, some gingerbread, and coffee, leading ot a dry finish.
Wonderful, a new favorite.

"excellent"
Great cigar! From construction, to looks, to smoke. I agree with all the coments here, creamy, with a hint of spice. Good down to the label, with a perfect draw/burn.....it's going into the Humi!

"Exceptional"
Wonderful cigar! Rich cocoa and coffee flavors and a perfect burn. Doesn't make a lot of smoke, but the flavors compensate for this. However, sorry, I just don't like the extreme box pressed shape of it. Oh well...get some anyway. You won't be sorry.

"Smooth"
I have smoked three or four of these cigars and found them all to be excellent. Nice draw, good even burn and wonderful taste and smell. It is a medium strength cigar that I am filling up my humidor(s) with!

"Must have been one out of a million?"
Purchased at a reputable Davidoff location on the Las Vegas strip, I have no clue as to what could have gone wrong. Never in my life have I experienced such problems. While the cigar did appear box-pressed, the real problem concerned the construction of the cigar as it had refused to light. Air passage within' the cigar was horrendously obstructed; as no smoke would travel through the cigar during the odd time the cigar did briefly remain lit. At the point where my lighter had eventually run out of butane, I lost all hope. Out of breath, I decided to throw out the remaining 4/5 and pick up a different stick. I would not wish this experience on my worst enemies. Nevertheless, seeing as to how I am the only one to experience trouble with this stick to date, I will surely give it another chance sometime down the road.

"my favorite"
this cigar has been my favorite one, I work for a Tobacco Company that manufactors cigarettes and a lot of my accounts sell cigars as well, so I have sampled countless brands that are out there, and I would have to say that this cigar is the most consistent everytime, I have tried other brands that may be just as good at times, but have found them to be inconsistent. Everytime I fire up one of these the draw is perfect, burns perfectly even, and they all have that rich earthy flavor with just the right amount of strength to it. I would recommend anyone who smokes cigars to try this one once. You may have a new favorite

"Bravo C.A.O."
So awesome, too beautiful for words. A medium-full bodied smoke that is rich and complex. It gets better as you near the finish, and the ash burns so evenly and long its just ridiculous. Amongst the best cigars I've ever smoked.....

"Another Great Churchill"
What can I say about CAO! This is another one of their great cigars. Very few CAO cigars are defective and when they are, CAO will replace them. Rich CREAMY smoke with nuts and hints of spice. Beautifully constructed. Another one of my daily favorites. Ever since I tried my first one, I always have 3 boxes in my humidor. Aging just makes this cigar creamier, if possible. 🙂

"Solid smoke"
This cigar is always in ample supply in my humidor. First "timers" rave...and the others sneak an extra one for the ride home! Added bonus--if you look, should find 'em under 6 bucks!!!

"Simply, a Great Smoke"
A box pressed beauty, this gem is full of flavor and spice which will keep you amuse for a while. Destined to be one of the best, and a classic. It deserves a place in the Humidor Hall of Fame.
