CAO Italia - Ed


Cigar: CAO Italia
Size: 5 x 56
Wrapper: Honduran Habano seed
Rating: 8


The Italia has gained my confidence! On my birthday in 2005, I smoked my first CAO Italia and was not very happy. That cigar was dry and didn't burn very well. The one I smoked this weekend was in direct contrast to that one. This cigar was rich and smooth that started and finished with a sweet, spicy touch to the palate.


When I smoke CAOs I am always astonished at how consistent the taste and smoke is; again, this cigar was different. The Italia was complex and changed taste a couple times, each time getting better.


Thanks to Damian for insisting that I give this cigar another chance!
