CAO

Pilon

A good everyday smoke

Repeat review. 9 months has done wonders for the flavors of and added some complexity. Burning draw and smoke production outstanding. Notes of pepper and cinnamon maybe? A medium flavor and strength.

Corona $200

These are always dependable. Good burn and draw. Firm construction. Classic Ecuadorian habano wrapper and flavors. I have yet done try to the aged version and look forward to it.

A straight forward cigar. Notes consist mostly of sweet cedar. The draw is light and easy, and the burn stayed fairly level throughout. Solid construction. Nothing over the top but a consistent cigar overall.

Pretty good cigar. I really liked the draw.

Excellent. Best vitola of the line in my opinion.

Good draw, good ash. Stayed lit and didn't need a touchup. Unlit grass smell. Burned unevely, but not conoe. Taste was lacking, except for last third which started showing promise. I'm dissapointed overall. Jamison was not a good pairing (my fault). Stick may have benefited from stronger whiskey or and earthy Scotch.

I really like the band on this CAO Pilon. It's pretty cool how it list the wrapper, binder, and filler. I get a light woody flavor with hits of bread or cracker. Nothing really bold but a good smoke nevertheless.

Great presentation, slow burn, had to retouch, flavor opens up in 2nd third

I'm not impressed by this cigar the burn kept going off, and finally went out despite my best efforts after 50 minutes
