# CAO Flathead V23 Review #10 by Etonn

Was out of the area for work so looked up local shops to pick up a stick for the drive home. Always wanted to try this but not around my area. The construction was very good. The draw was perfect. The taste, a bit heavy. By Etonn on December 21 2025 6:25:33 AM

## Good but

Was out of the area for work so looked up local shops to pick up a stick for the drive home. Always wanted to try this but not around my area. The construction was very good. The draw was perfect. The taste, a bit heavy. I’m a Maduro smoker and I just found this to be a bit off to my taste. I’d pick another one up to give it a second chance
