Anyone else unimpressed with CAO Gold?

[cigarsarge]

The only CAO I will smoke is the Brazilias. The rest are pure crap.

I wouldn't say they were "pure crap" but I was not impressed with either the Gold or the Black from CAO. However, I do like the Criollo, Brazilia and Italia very much. I have not rtied any others from their line . . . except a few puffs of my wife's smokes from the CAO Flavours line.

I'll have to try the Brazilias...I have not been impressed with any other CAO cigars I have tried....

I was going to try a Criollo, but with the fact that I havn't been too impressed with the others, I'm not sure I want to fork out the cash for one. Hell, they're a little pricier than Onyx Reserves and those are damn good smokes!

[Leebo]

Brazilias.....yes.

The others......crapolla!

IMO CAO does seem to be more concerned with marketing than blending cigars.

Take the “Odyssey” as an example. For around $14.00+ each it is a good cigar. Take away the extra dough for the coffin & sell them twenty to a box for $10.00 each and it would be a “great” smoke.

Again, JMHO.
