The size of this cigar is somewhat puzzling to me because on CAO's website the sizes they have listed are way bigger than the one I smoked, but the size is very similar to a Brazila Pirhana though, so roughly a 4.5 x 46 size.
This cigar has a Habanos seed binder and wrapper, both grown in Honduras and mixed fillers from Italy, Nicaragua, and Peru according to CAO's website.
I was excited to try this one, figuring the Italian element of the cigar would be an interesting experience. It certainly did not let me down. The cigar had a very rich flavor, notable hints of black cherry and spice. The flavor was very pleasant and sweet at the beginning...kind of mellowed out in the middle but intensified towards the end...excellent sweet and bold finish. It was a flavor profile that was pretty different from anything I have smoked in the past. I will definitely have a run-in with this cigar again sometime! As far as logistics go, draw was excellent, but had some slight burn issues throughout...I had to touch it up a few times.
I am a huge fan of the Brazilia, and I can't say that I like this one better just yet...I'll need to smoke a few more to be able to judge that effectively. Overall I would recommend this one for its interesting profile...very unique. Could become a new favorite! :thumbs:
