# CAO Flathead Review #143 by Jeromy

Many supersized cigars are a marketing fad but the CAO Flathead lineup is NOT one of those. I love the V770 and V660 Carb even though the first time smoking it I broke into a sweat. By Jeromy on May 21 2026 10:45:51 AM

## Bigger isn't always better, but sometimes it is

Many supersized cigars are a marketing fad but the CAO Flathead lineup is NOT one of those. I love the V770 and V660 Carb even though the first time smoking it I broke into a sweat. Last night I smoked the 860 Resonator for the first time and it unseated the Carb as KING. The power is not there in this cigar (unless you're a novice); however, the flavor was incredible. The maduro wrapper was shining with oils and the ligero blends are a perfect balance of flavor and tempered strength. This cigar will be my new go-to for box purchases.
