CAO Gold Minis 5/20
"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.

"A mixed experience"
The burn was even the whole way, a very nice feature. The draw was somewhat difficult. Although the cigar wasn't plugged, the draw wasn't easy. The appearance was excellent. The taste was decent for a mild/medium bodied cigar. The construction was not perfect. For the first 3/4 of the cigar, the wrapper was intact but for the last 1/4 the wrapper came completely off. I won't buy this one again.

"Good but not as good as robusto"
This was a decent cigar, i love the flavor but the corona is not the way to go here. It has a slow draw and is hard to keep lit, i've had the robusto of the gold and it was great, i'm going to stick to that from now on

"Smooth nice smoke"
Loved the flavor, draw, and length of time you can smoke this cigar. Prepare to spend some time playing bacci with this one.

"Not bad but...."
This is an OK cigar but not very tasty. Produced a rich smoke but no taste. Draw a little tight for my taste and the burn was not very even. I like mild to medium cigars but this was a little too mild for me.

"Well made consitant flavorful cigar."
Even burn with a mild spicy taste and a touch of pepper.
Slow burning smoke with a good draw. A solid 9.5 in my book.

"Inconsistent"
Started out well, but 1/4 way through the pleasant, cedar aroma gave way to a pre-smoked cigar smell. No thanks.
