"Disappointed - Bitter and Green"

Being fond of CAO, I was disappointed with these. First cigar had a big swath of green running through the wrapper! And the taste of the cigars matches that greenness. Doesn't taste like the tobacco was aged at all. Too bitter. Burns uneven, as most CAO cigars tend to do. Could have fooled me into thinking this was a $1 bundle cigar.

"So So"

The CAO Gold Corona is a mild cigar. However, I found the draw very tight. I got tired from trying to take a puff on it. Not much creamy smoke until the last half and the wrapper started falling apart half way through. Somewhat poor construction and I finally gave up on it a bit over half way through. The flavor profile barely changed throughout the cigar. I don't see how these cigars get such a good rating.

"A great finish to the evening"

It was me, the evening stars, natures? music, and my CAO Gold Robusto. This was a great finish to a peaceful day. This CAO complimented the evenings end with its smooth mildly sweet and nutty flavor. The smoke was bit shallow leaving me wanting, but this was countered by its lingering enjoyable flavor. The draw was unobstructed and effortless. The burn was a bit distracting, I had to correct twice and relight once. But overall it was a pleasant smoke to recap the day and lead me to the nights end.

"Call it Mello Yellow. thats right!!!"

Truly a classic from CAO, a very Smooth cigar, excellent in burn and ease of draw, top of the world looks and construction, mild at best but with lots of flavors, great starting smoke for anyone well worth the price

"My cigar of choice - Consistently perfect draw! A"

The CAO Gold Double Corona (N) is the perfect cigar for me. The Mild:Medium taste will not overwhelm you with richness. Those searching for a stronger cigar will not find this blend satisfactory. CAO has one characteristic that stands heads above all fine cigars - the consistency of a perfect draw is unparalleled and a benchmark that other premium cigar manufacturers all aim for. When I cut the end of my cigar off, even before lighting it, I can count on smoking a magnificent cigar - that about says it all.

"Smooth"

Had a couple of spots on the wrapper, but the smooth taste made up for it. This was one of the best mild smokes. will pick up a box next time.

"Pretty Good"

If you're looking for a very mild cigarillo this is a good one, and if you're new to smoking cigarillos this is one I would recommend. I was a bit mislead by the vanilla, nutmeg and nuts description since these had none of those in the scent of an unlit one to the aroma of the smoke. Unlit they smell very lightly of sweet wood, it's really pleasant but very mild. Lit, it's almost the same, a very light, mild woodsy tobacco scent. Taste, I gave it a 9 because I was really hoping the description of vanilla and nutmeg was true, it's not, it's a very mild smoke taste. I've had a few mild cigarillos, all of them what people recommended as a very good cigarillo (even on here), the smoke just clung in the mouth like a cotton ball and stayed like a lead weight and so bland it was disgusting, the CAO mini gold wasa very light touch to the palate. If you want more aromatic in all areas you need to look at others, but these are all beautifully made, it took about fifteen minutes to get to the last inch of one, the burn was always even and it never went out on me and where some other well named ones have.

"Not a good cigar"

I wanted to like this cigar, I just didn't. It doesn't have much of a taste at all and is almost like smoking air. It burns well, but overall is just a bad cigar. Maybe that's because I have been smoking Davidoff's recently, but I doubt it.
