CAO Gold Maduro
I like 'em.
Not a strong cigar, but pretty good flavors. I've tried the robusto and Corona Gorda sizes. The bigger size seemed better to me, whereas the few robustos I had were inconsistent..something a little humi nap time might help. Makes for a nice change of pace, IMHO. Of course, I like the other CAO maduros..so that's probably why I like these.

I have not been able to find these anywhere around here yet. I am curious as to what they taste like. I didn't really care for this brand in the EMS wrapper.

Was gifted 2 of them at cigar store on saturday, very mild and under whelming. I kept one and smoked it yesterday after breakfast same result, nothing special ... tastes like a fonseca maduro..

I like em...more flavor than the regular gold line but nothing dramatically different...if you didn't somewhat like the original golds these prolly won't wow you either.

I picked one up at Cubano's shop a while back and loved it. I wasn't a big fan of the regular Gold, but the maduro was great. The price is a little prohibitive for how it tasted, but still a good cigar.

I loved these. Had some a couple days ago. Much better than the Maduro they had out the past few years. I kinda think they taste like the old ones.

Strange - I thought the price was fair. They're actually a bit less than the Gold nats. It's a fantastic cigar. I can't keep them in stock. They fly out of here almost the same day they come in. It's a phenomenon. I was lucky enough to get some Coronas and Robustos and went through two boxes of each in about 10 days. Now they're on perpetual backorder - which explains why you might not be ab le to find them.

The robusto I had was tastey. I'll have to stock up on a few more of these...

I asked my two local stores if they were going to get them so I could try one. They said no. One said CAO's weren't a big seller.
