I smoke the little Cao Vanilla's once in a while. I keep a tin handy if I know I'll be somewhere I can't have a REAL cigar without bothering other people. Cao makes the only flavored cigars I've had more than one of so far. People seem to like the way they smell too. I don't know about those larger sizes. Met some of the CAO Flavorettes at an event a while back. Each flavour was represented by a girl dressed (barely) to match that blend, and you could go around and sample each flavour and have a small shot of a paired liquor.
