"The Italia will always have a place in my humidor"
With a beautiful band and gorgeous oily wrapper the Italia always proves its versatility. While on its own it is a nice med-full bodied smoke, it seems to be lacking something. Pair this with a good lager, single malt, or cup of coffee it really shines. The Italia has a smooth, rich, leathery smelling smoke with a slight apple finish. I've had some burn problems with these. They probably need to age more, but they never seem to last in the humi. My favorite of the CAOs.

"Loved since I started"
I love the barn aroma before lighting and really loved the taste. I won't quit on this one. My favorite CAO.

"One of my new favorites!"
Had this cigar with an Allagash Curieux barrel-aged beer and the combination was simply wonderful.

"Ok Cigar, but poor burn"
I have smoked 3 of the 5 from the pack I purchased. This is an okay cigar but not great. The flavor is good, woodsy. However 2 of the 3 I have smoked have had a fireball run down the center of the cigar while the outer edges didn't burn evenly. This unevenness may have contributed to the strange flavor.

"Not My Favorite"
I read several reviews and thought these sounded like a good smoke but was disappointed - had a paint thinner after taste

"The Italian Stallion"
Truly the best experience of an affordable smoke I have had. It has left me commenting every time I bite into this full bodied beauty. A distinguished flavor like all of the quality cigars CAO rolls but clearly the most balanced. Like every great cigar the flavor matures as you smoke and has left me burning my fingers on every time I partake.

"Buona Fortuna"
That is what you'll have if you get your hands on this cigar. Wow, that's all I need to say. Everyone knows the best cars, best food, best wine, best cheese, best fashion, best women, etc comes from the boot. hey, maybe their tobacco is right up there along with everything else. ciao
