CAO Black Robusto
Wrapper: Connecticut seed Equadorian grown
Binder: Nicaraguan
Filler: Nicaraguan, Honduran, and Mexican

Construction: Nice and firm with no major veins. Nice and smooth.

Pre-light: A very smooth creamy taste. Nice cedary aroma.

Draw: Easy with a little more than a touch of firmness. Perfect.

Smoking Notes: The first inch of this cigar was very smooth and creamy with just a hint of spice every once in a while. The ash was a dark grey and held almost 2 inches before falling. After about the halfway mark the flavor and body picked up with some cedar notes and a little more spice. Smoked it down to an inch and it never burned hot or bitter.

Overall impression: I love this cigar. It has a flavor unlike any I've had before. It was almost reminicient of hot mulled cider. The construction and presentation were beautiful. Each cigar is individually wrapped in cedar with a black ribbon wrapped around the foot. I may buy a box. They come in limited edition numbered boxes, and i'm a sucker for a gimmick.
