# CAO Rare Select Gordo Review by MarcMint

The CAO Rare Select cigar is such a welcome addition to my humidor that I've just ordered another box of Gordos (6. 25 X 60). My palate generally prefers darker and stronger cigars (like Perdomo Maduro or Cohiba Black), but this one is possibly the boldest Sungrown I've tasted. By MarcMint on September 8 2024 3:14:53 PM

## Strong but Smooth

The CAO Rare Select cigar is such a welcome addition to my humidor that I've just ordered another box of Gordos (6.25 X 60). My palate generally prefers darker and stronger cigars (like Perdomo Maduro or Cohiba Black), but this one is possibly the boldest Sungrown I've tasted. It burns consistently, the drag is always just right (rolled neither too tightly or too loosely), and the flavor is both strong and smooth.
