    Default I agree - lacking flavor

    I am smoking one right now. I am not sure what the size is called. it is tapered at both ends and came in an square aluminum tube. I find this and many of the CAOs lacking flavor. The exceptions are the maduros and the Soprano editions. Both provided more flavor and were a bit more enjoyable. I would not buy these. At present, I would only smoke them if given to me. And only then if I had nothing else.

    I smoked one of these today, and agree it was nothing special but still a good smoke. The draw and burn were perfect though and it gave me a huge buzz, could be because it was pretty cold out and I was smoking it fast. I really like the criollo, italia and anniversaire maduro though (haven't tried any others, yet).

    I think it's a descent box press robusto for a beginner , but not worthy of a seasoned smoker. I do favor the mx2. Especially when it first came out and the wrappers were really dark black and greasy.

    Thread Ressurection. I am glad it was brought up though. I am trying another CAO cameroon this or next week. I remember that week having a VERY off palate and I may have been unfair on the review.

    I will repost my thoughts when I have this smoke again.

    In general though I have enjoyed pretty much ever CAO with the exception of a couple.

    I have never tried a CAO. They get ok reviews and the prices are good. I might pick up a box, any recommendations?

    i like medium to strong ciggies, if that helps at all.

    That is my experience as well. I dont dig Cameroon much, but even so, the CX2 wasn't bad. I did have an MX2 which lackd flavor. I love the Saprano's and was on a big Brazil kick a while back.

    Get a box of Saparano's!
    The very existence of flame-throwers proves that some time, somewhere, someone said to themselves, "You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done." -unknown
