CAO La Traviata

As I did with the Estilo Cubano, I went to my local cigar shop and picked up a random cigar. This CAO cigar had a great tag, so I picked it up. It has an old fashioned leather scent that really caught my attention. The tobacco and filler come from both the Dominican and Ecuador. Great look overall.

I lit the cigar up and immediately tasted a leather/earthy/cream flavor. The burn was incredibly even and it had great smoke output. About 1/3 way through, the burn has stayed the same and so has the flavor, for the most part. The flavor has become a little spicier, but not significant.

About 2/3 to the end of the cigar brings change to the flavor. As I mentioned above, the spicy flavor was becoming more prevalent, but towards the end it has completely disappeared and the cigar has a sweeter flavor. It was a quick change, which made it a little more enjoyable. This CAO was enjoyable, which was not a surprise.

Stogie Rite score: 90
