Cigar Reviewed: CAO Flathead

Great smaller ring gauge cigar. Medium-full bodied cigar, excellent construction, medium strength. Notes of cocoa, espresso and earth. Medium pepper on retro at the beginning that fades until the half way mark and then begins to build again until the end. Expected more of a kick from this cigar, and a bit more evolution considering the length. Very happy to see major manufacturers still producing sub 50 ring gauge cigars, in spite of the race to make bigger jawbreakers. Overall, not a mind-blowing cigar, but definitely worth a 5 or 10 pack if you (like me) prefer sub-50's.
