Known among enthusiasts for crafting cigars with rare and hard-to-find tobaccos from around the world, CAO is paying tribute to Nicaragua with its latest blend.
Made with long-fillers from three of Nicaragua’s prime growing regions and covered with a dark Jamastran wrapper, this premium possesses a beautiful balance of strength and flavor.
A complex profile offers notes of dark chocolate, black pepper, roasted nuts, and a dried fruit sweetness. An impressive addition to the CAO portfolio, this gem appeals to anyone looking for big, bold flavors.
I first tried these as a five pack and they were great!! Bought my first box shortly after. In the first box 19 were all I could ask for - good flavor, burn etc. But I did have one that was so tight it was almost impossible to draw. Needless to say I recently bought another box because I've never had trouble with a CAO prior to this and consider the one a one off. So far so good on that 2nd box.

Like drinking a malt through a cocktail straw.

I purchased a box of the coronas under the influence of the Cigar Aficionado magazine rating of 91. I generally only but two for the initial try, but I felt confident in the CAO brand. That was my big mistake, I have smoked half the box and I have not yet had a good smoke. The binders are to tight and create a very tight draw eliminating any chance for good flavors to come through. They rated it 91, my rating is 19. Do not waste your money on this cigar.

Disappointing

The cigars were difficult to draw and did not burn evenly. These are a far cry from Cao Black!

With a name like Nicaragua, I was really expecting a more full bodied smoke with my favorite tobacco country's best stuff. The cigar really just didn't seem to have much flavor/personality. Definitely a surprised being a CAO. I smoke a couple and have put the rest back to age, hoping they will get better. The cigar wasn't offensive or "bad", but not anything special either.

NICE SMOKE! Medium to full body with nice smooth taste and a great even burn the entire cigar. This is one you’ll smoke way past the band.

I was impressed; a nice smoke. While not one CAO's best so my future used will depend on the price, but a good option if priced right

Flavor was very good but construction?

I must say that I’m hard on my cigars, that said, I don’t feel these can take the abuse I deem necessary. CAO usually does and will remain a staple for me!
