"Agreed - Italians should stick to wine making"
I agree with another comment - Italians should stick to wine making. CAO makes many excellent cigars and would have my vote as the best overall maker - this is the only one I would not recommend to friends. If you are looking for spice, shop for a good Thai restaurant.

"Multo bene!"
The Brazilia was my favorite CAO until I tried this one. Excellent smoke!

"Hate to say...not on my Top 5 List of CAO Cigars"
Expection, high...Results, low. A little harsher taste than I expected. I love the Brazilia, which is a fuller flavored cigar. So I was surprised the Italia actually was not as smooth. As with the Brazilia, it is also a long smoke, which is nice unless you are short on time.

"Bad Stick?"
Can't say if I got a bad stick or not but this smoked very unevenly and stayed fairly bitter to about the halfway point at which point it started to mellow out a bit but still retained what I felt was an overly spicy flavor. Will give it another try but at this point would not recommend it to a friend. I must add though that this is the first CAO I have ever had an unpleasant experience with.

"Mama Mia - what a smoke!"
Fast becoming a favorite. Full of flavor, good draw, great construction - just an overall pleasure to smoke. Try 'em. I think you'll like 'em.

"Problems"
I really really wantd to like this smoke it's a good looking stick I like the italian flag colors but of three that I had smoked they burned really uneven. I got them from different locations and they burned the same. Like I said I really want to like this smoke I will try another before I give up on them.

"Love this smoke"
My wife picked this out for me and I burned it on a recent cruise. It started out a little harsh on the initial light, but then settled down to a smoooooth, full-bodied smoke.
My only complaint - I wish it was 7 inches instead of 5. :-)

"Good, but powerful."
Another great smoke from CAO. Very full flavored with hints of spice. Good with a nice strong cup of coffee. The cigar does leave a strong aftertaste that will be with you for a while, and it's strong enough that you probably don't want to smoke it on an empty stomach. Overall, a great buy for CAO and full flavor cigar lovers.

"Another Great One By CAO"
Well CAO did it again. It was sweet with a touch of spice. It burned great as I expected and it made me forget about my bad day! I can't wait to see what they come out with next

"Very Good Cigar"
I've smoked about half a dozen of the Italia. They remind me a lot of the CAO Brazilia, only spicier. My wife doesn't like the smell; she calls it an "outdoors cigar." I would definitely recommend this one to anyone who enjoys Brazilia.
