CAO America

Cigar Reviewed: CAO America 250th Anniversary

Smoked at: New Jersey

In preparation for America 250, I purchased 5 of these in a Robusto vitola and 2 America Monuments (torpedo vitola). I am saving the Monument to enjoy on the 4th, but I did sample the robusto and it was a delight. Very well constructed with the double wrap "barber-pole" look and an excellent taste and aroma. I'm not one with a palette that smokes a stick and tells you what hints of chocolate, spice etc. he tastes. But I do know when a cigar tastes good and this one was fantastic. The body was medium+, strong but not overpowering and even my non-cigar smoking friend commented on the aroma being "different, better" than other cigars I have smoked in his presence. Highly recommend for the 4th of July and beyond.
