CAO Maduro Toro

CAO Maduro Toro (55 X 5-1/2)

I extracted this cigar from a box pass a couple years back, so I don't know it's age. It is of more recent vintage as it has "Maduro" on the wrapper instead of the previous "Anniversaire".

The wrapper was jet-black with a few mottled light spots here and there.

The construction flawless with a straight burn and loads of smoke.

I found it to be a full flavor cigar of medium strength. I didn't pick up any nuances, for me it was a straight-forward tobacco flavor, and very enjoyable. The flavor profile held steady the entire smoke. I burned it to the nub without picking up any bitterness or harshness at the end. Smoking time was over an hour.

Overall a good smoking experience. While it didn't leave me seeking a box purchase, I certainly won't turn one away in the future.

That seems to be typical of the CAO line these days. Nice review.

I like these but they are over-priced. They don't live up to other cigars in the same price range.

I agree they are a little over priced...however they are a great smoke IMO. Infact I like them better than the MX2. Before people start calling me crazy remember it's JMO.
