CAO America Potomac....A Big Jack Review...

[Big Jack]

I'm lucky. My locale B&M is the cigar room lafeyete(sp?) about 10 minutes away. He just re-did the place and it great now. He also has great stock now. On some things he is high. He also gets rollers in and has events.

Every go to Famous in PA. Just over the 22 bridge. I camp in PA and I'm about 30 minutes from them and CI but never get the time to go.

We should meet for a smoke sometime.

I've been to Famous once or twice. Nice little lounge.

My oldest went to college in Bethlehem PA, so I'd hit CI a few times a year. I haven't been to their new place though.

And I'm cursed, never to get to CI's big Cigarfest event. Every year, I have plans for the weekend its on.

I can't wait to try one of these! I'll be on the lookout for them, but no sign of them yet. Awesome review!

Looking at your avatar it is obvious you are a CAO “Soprano’s” Fan. (Great Cigar but not worth the hype) Anyway, I smoked one of these yesterday, you are right! What a wonderful SMOKE!!! So good in fact I bought a WHOLE BOX!!! I’m not a big fan of the Barber Pole stripe sticks. But this one takes the cake! Plus it’s more of a “Stripe” than a “Pole”.

Great review! It’s almost as if you got stock in the company…LOL

I have a CAO America Monument resting at home. Maybe I'll light it up this weekend.

Guess I'm in the minority here. I tried one and found it flat and monotonous. Most of CAO's cigars taste the same to me. They seem pretty similar, and I'm buying less and less of them as I go along.

I am thinking about revisiting the America after reading this thread. I thought it was nice looking and a descent smoke, but definitly not worth the $. I've had some good sticks in the last 6 months that just seemed overpriced. I would rather have a Soprano Boss or a couple of MX2 Beli's if choosing from CAO.
