# CAO Extreme Review #2 by Howbucks

I want to start off by saying that CAO is my favorite brand, but this extreme has not been my favorite. Understandably, it's meant to be a strong smoke and it checks the box on that, but I do not find it to be an enjoyable cigar. By Howbucks on November 4 2020 1:27:29 AM

## Afternoon Smoke

I want to start off by saying that CAO is my favorite brand, but this extreme has not been my favorite. Understandably, it's meant to be a strong smoke and it checks the box on that, but I do not find it to be an enjoyable cigar. Great for a round of golf, maybe. Not for lounging around with friends and a nice Scotch or Bourbon, unfortunately. Not a lot of complexity, it's just a strong cigar from start to finish. Typical of CAO, the ash is solid with a nice even burn. Smoke is a nice thick white smoke, cap takes a V-cut rather nicely, creating an easy and smooth draw. Probably won't purchase again, but if I was offered one, I wouldn't turn it down.
