I am not going to write a long review for this smoke... it was just bad... all pepper and dull tobacco, and it drew very hard.

It is possible that this was just a bad smoke (a very very bad smoke) from a bad batch... i do have another in the humidor so hopefully the second one wont be as bad.

I'm a fan of the smaller CAO Italia's "4x30 you get in tin's".
I don't find them that bad at all.

That is very interesting that you had a very bad experience with that stick. I have had them and they were always enjoyable. Hmmm guess that proves you can get a bad stick in just about any brand. Hope the next one is better.

i have yet to find a good tinned smoke, i am on the prowl though.

I really hope the next stick is worth it's weight... i was very disappointed with all the compliments CAO gets and you dont find many Italian cigars...

thanks for the comments.

That's the plan. I'll update this after I smoke the second one for those who care.

Thanks again.

It's the cigar that turned me onto cigars. I had several of them before even trying others. After going a while without one, trying others, I had a new-found appreciation for just how smooth and tasty the little guy is.

I have it's big brother, the Magnifico (6 x 54 toro), sitting in the humidor. Waiting for the right occasion.
