I have these in my humidor, not sure what trade they came from, but just curious what i have, i know nothing about CAO, never smoked one. I did a search and came across a review of the Odyssey from 2002, but that's the only info i can find.

thanks

I can not vouch for any of this information, it is just what I found on the net.


Odyssey
These special cigars are made from a wonderful combination of six different types of Cuban seed fillers. The Odyssey features Nicaraguan fillers, an Ecuadorian Binder, and a sixth priming Ecuadorian Rosado wrapper that imparts a flavor that is second to none, with notes of dry sherry and red wine. This complex cigar has vintage 1999 harvest aged filler tobacco.

Here is a cigar you don’t see everyday. The CAO Odyssey is a whopping 6.7 x 55 Perfecto that comes individually packaged in its own coffin box. This cigar is made in sparring amounts, only being allocated to the very best consumer cigar destinations. Why so hard to find? The filler is composed a six country, Cuban seed blend giving this cigar its wild complexity and unique medium to full bodied aroma. It is finished with a Habano binder and a sixth priming Rosado wrapper that is absolutely beautiful.



Size: 6.75 x 55
Wrapper: Ecuador Rosado
Binder: Ecuador
Filler: Nicaragua

Palms

This was a limited release blended and rolled specifically for the Palms Resort and Casino's Super Sunday Party held on February 1, 2004. Coincidentally, the New England Patriots and the Carolina Panthers were competing in Super Bowl XXXVIII that very same day. That must be why the Palms had so many of these cigars left over, everyone was at home watching the Super Bowl and didnﾒt go to this Super Sunday Party - whatever the hell that is.
Their misfortune was we cigar smokers gain. For the past year, these cigars have been available for purchase without the added cost of flying to Vegas, booking a room, and inventing a time machine to go back to 2004.


This is all I could find....hope it helps

The Palms is a decent cigar, but light bodied. The Odyssey is better and medium bodied. Both are worth a try and are CAO's better end of the spectrum. I concur with everyone that CAO asks high end Fuente or Padron prices but aren't much better than the mounds of three or four dollar cigars that General or Altadis crap out every year.
 
I guess the Odyssey should be pretty tasty now, been sleeping for 6 years. I might have to sacrifice the Odyssey to the smoke gods this weekend :)
