CAO Black Cigar Review

Tuesday, January 22nd, 2008

Now one of the top brands in the industry, Nashville-based CAO really started on what would become its road to fame in the mid-90s, when the company released the Black. After smoking this, you’ll be able to see why the company became a hit.

As you can see, it’s a good-looking cigar. When packed, it’s wrapped in a thin slice of cedar wood, but after peeling back the cedar, I noticed the wrapper was especially smooth.

Fuente Don Carlos Double Robusto Cigar Review

The Reed is a chisel tip cigar named for the resemblance to the windwood instrument. The Chulos, tranlated as “cool” here as in some cool looking perfectos with either a maduro wrapper and natural tips or a natural wrapper with maduro tips. The Figurado Series differs from the normal La Tradicion Cubana cigars only in shape and the wrapper on the maduros, other wise this is the same blend.
