# CAO Italia Review #5 by Jayfr

I've smoked a few boxes of these, and I have found that on occasion, while drinking sweeter whiskey or rum, I experience a burst of flavor, not unlike a good well-done steak, when about half way through the cigar. When that happens, I'd rate the cigar exquisite. By Jayfr on April 15 2021 6:00:39 PM

## All the sudden, I'm tasting steak

I've smoked a few boxes of these, and I have found that on occasion, while drinking sweeter whiskey or rum, I experience a burst of flavor, not unlike a good well-done steak, when about half way through the cigar. When that happens, I'd rate the cigar exquisite. When it doesn't, I'd give it a two. It happened nearly half the time. It has been a while since I've had one of these, I hope they still provide the same experience.
