CAO Info.....

[Island Epicurean]

They're overpriced.
They're overhyped.
They don't taste good.

I used to sort of like the MX2 line but as my tastes have evolved, I no longer enjoy them. Every other CAO I've smoked never left a lasting impression on me.

I am going back there tomorrow and while I will probably try some for myself, they also have quite a few Fonseca Cigars on sale. Any recomendations there?

I have tried many offerings from CAO multiple times / different sizes ( Brazilia, Italia, Maddies, Gold, Black ). They have never impressed.

Like what you smoke and smoke what you like. blah blah blah

I actually like all of the CAO's, with the possible exception of the Italia.

The Brazilia line is one of the prettiest looking cigars around -- that dark black wrapper and bright green band draw attention! Strong, sometimes almost harsh, but good.

The Anniversaries are excellent.

But as someone noted above, I don't think there's much doubt that the CAO Gold are the best, particularly if you like a milder, smoother smoke.

Hey All;

Thanks for the advice. I actually settled on a box of CAO Gold. I am pretty pleased with my purchase. Once again, thanks for the info!

i like the way a cigar smokes ,not the way it looks

Aw come on, it doesn't mean some of them aren't real purdy. But the ugliest cigar in the world would be my favourite if it taste/smoked the best.
