CAO Italia Gondola Natural cigars are exquisitely made figurados blended with an Italian-grown Habano leaf and Nicaraguan & Peruvian longfillers capped in a tawny, sweet-smelling Honduran wrapper. The smoke is rich, earthy and remarkably creamy. Medium to full-bodied with a sensational aroma, too.

VERY spicy complex tastes but not unpleasant. Definitely a full to strong flavored cigar. I will certainly buy more of these!

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.

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!

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.
