A great sampler from CAO! I love the fact that the packaging is a legit travel humidor.
Bra, lite mörk, krämik, inte alls så besk, svår i början men del 2 fantastisk. Njutbar. ca 70 min.
3mo rested. Great burn and draw. Flavors of earth nuts chocolate and bit of spices. Great pairing with a mocha.
First, I love this vitola. I’m a robusto fan generally, but the 56 gauge on this makes it look and feel substantial. It’s an easy light, but cut a little deeper than usual to get an easy draw. The flavor is intense and hearty from the start, but the retrohale is still smooth. The second third builds the bite more, and the retrohale really resonates in the nose. Be ready for it. Haha. Construction wise, it’s a beautiful cigar, dark and moody looking. The final third builds to greatest intensity and depth, but it’s still enjoyable for my novice palate.
1/3) This cigar starts off with notes of Oak and cedar, filling the air with memories from time spent in the woodshop. Uneven burn to start that corrected itself after a few minutes.
Honestly just enjoyed this cigar so much that after the first third, I stopped caring about the profile and just let myself be transported. I have two more and I look forward to letting them take their time Jin the humidor. These are keepers!
