"This is the smoke that started it all!"
I've always been hesitant to buy a box of any one type of cigar. The CAO Soprano edition changed that. This is an Amazing smoke! Beautiful wrapper, great chewy and nutty flavors...Great anytime of day...I enjoy this best the first thing in the morning with a good strong cup of coffee....A MUST TRY!

"over priced for the lack of quality"
I believe this has got to be the first CAO cigar i have been disapointed with. I believe the price has to do more with the "brand" rather than the quality of the soprano soldier. This cigar has a decent flavor, and burns fairly evenly. Though the draw is less than desirable. A delicate cigar as well, the poor quality of the wrapper and bind had this cigar falling apart as i smoked it. The wrapper developed tears in it along the veins of the leaf, and the same for the bind. While this is a handsome cigar, it just doesn't deliver on the quality of value for the price paid. There is truth in the saying that "just because it costs more doesn't mean it's a better cigar". Honestly i have had several cigars half the price be a better cigar than the sopranos soldier.
to be fair, since i only bought 2 of these cigars(both poor quality) i might have gotten hold of some poorly handled cigars. Perhaps aging them might improve them but i'm not going to invest more time and money into this cigar..

"A Surprising Soldier"
Initially I bought some of these as a gift for my brother who is a big "Sopranos" fan, but when I tried one for myself I was very surprised and impressed with this "soldier". Great full bodied flavor that is not harsh or overpowering. Great draw, burn, ash, construction, everything. I'm definetely going to get more for myself. The name might sound like a "gimmick" but the flavor and quality are for real.
