CAO L’Anniversaire “Maduro” Trois Diamant Corona

I am still smoking alot of these as I got the last of the batch on closeout from JR at a ridiculous price ($2 each!!). You can tell these were made before they moved their production to Torano..........some drew well, others lousy, and some with wretched conoeing. Taste, however, always good.

Let these rest a bit before enjoying, it makes a big cifference. Got a box plus 5 FREE TTT trinidad robustos!!

I should of known. I got a box of these mainly because i needed some coffee and it came with 2 lbs of JBM blend. I like the coffee and only had a CAO as part of sampler pack. It was ok but compared to the others in the sampler, it was one of the worst. Anyway for $70 for a box, it definitely is overpriced. I couldnt get a draw. I had to return the box, couldnt believe they let me keep the coffee. that was a plus. stick with a cheaper cigar that is much better like the Hoyo or El Rey Del Mundo. they did look nice (packaging).

I have been smoking alot of CAOs as of late and overall I am very impressed. This big maduro is an enjoyable enough smoke, but compared to the Samba and Cameroons, or the kickass eXtremes, just avg. Still happy with overall smoke, but will let sit in humi 6 mos. and try again
