My most often smoked cigar the CAO gold is probably my favorite all around smoke for the price. I find it has a very rich flavor and it's medium bodied taste is not to strong. It feels very firm but not firm enough to inhibit the draw. Speaking of the draw it is excellent, very easy and smooth. A even burn as well with none to many instances of uneveness (occasionally near the end). The wrapper has an even copper color to it with a smooth cap. The wrapper is prone to cracking though when handled to much which is the biggest detraction from this cigar. Overall I would give this cigar 4 out of 5 stars. It is a large cigar with a long burn time perfect for a lazy sunday afternoon or any day just spent relaxing.
