# CAO Amazon Basin Review #59 by Snoman521

So I may be the odd one here but for my taste it didn't blow me away. While this is a good stick that I would smoke again i wouldn't reach for it over some others I have. By Snoman521 on January 4 2025 9:49:13 AM

## Different

So I may be the odd one here but for my taste it didn't blow me away. While this is a good stick that I would smoke again i wouldn't reach for it over some others I have. It's got some chocolate flavors to it as well as the leather youd expect. Almost a bitter sweetness to it. But then the pepper hits. And this is a very pepper forward smoke. It almost overpowers the rest of the flavors. And right there is where it loses points for me. I do have a few more left in my humidor for the future and will revisit them once they have rested in there for a good long while.
