"1 of my favorites"
Great cigar while golfing that everyone should try. I like a medium smoke on the course and this 1 does everything it's supposed to do.

"CAO Always Delivers"
This is another great cigar from CAO. Complex flavors and terrific construction, burn, and draw. I recommend this one as an after dinner cigar with a nice glass of scotch or Grand Marnier. It is a little spicy with some of those intoxicating flavors that are hard to put your finger on. Some call them leather, or spice, or coffee, or even cocoa. Either way, take an hour to pour yourself a drink, sit back, and take a trip back to the Old World with this truly classic cigar.

"Move over Brazilia!"
The first one of these smoked was a major disappointment. It completely fell apart after being a teribble side burner and wrapper shredder. This was due to poor storage where I bought it out of town. ( Two lessions learned, stick to Famous, and carry what you want when traveling.) Have smoked two others received as presents since, and they were pure heaven. Prior to this my all time favorite was CAO Brazilia. This tops those easily, and that takes some doing. MOVE OVER BRAZILIA!

"Outstanding cigar"
If you enjoy a cigar that is rich, full bodied and pleasing, this is for you. Amateurs need not apply. In my 38 years of cigar smoking, this cigar and a good single malt scotch is like taking a mini vacation. I love this CAO Italia!

"Very Impressive...CAO always impresses"
I have been a long time fan of CAO, frankly CAO is my favorite smoke, from the ultra smooth and always well constructed Gold line, to the powerful and complex Brazilia line, they have never let me down, always offering me the perfect smoke for whatever mood or occasion. I am thrilled at the introduction of the new Italia line, it has quick become a staple in my humidor and one of my top 3 smokes. It has a taste like no other, bringing me back to the stories of the old time Italian cigars my Dad and his Dad used to smoke. I can "taste" the stories, and truly enjoy the Gondolas smoking them until my knuckles burn. Another A+ for CAO.

"Well Made Nicaraguan Smoke"
This is a very well made and nice looking cigar, but I just can't get past the odd, earthy aftertase that comes along with Nicaraguan cigars. If you like full bodied Nicaraguans, you'll probably like this.

"Great!"
Great burn, wrapper darker than the skin. Easy drawin' stays lit, doesn't blister. Kind of spicy, very smooth and aromatic smoke. Delicious, better than the Brazilia. Definitely a keeper and will buy a box again!

"Another good smoke by CAO."
Very nice shape and construction on this figurado. Nice, dark, oily wrapper. Decent draw and burn.
VERY spicy complex tastes but not unpleasant. Definitely a full to strong flavored cigar. I will certainly buy more of these!
