Central Canada, eh?
Sunday was a fine September day in Saskatchewan so I thought I would celebrate with a good cigar and a good book in the back yard. I am reading Christine by Steven King right now, so I guess one ouf of two isn't bad.

The CAO black is a cigar produced by CAO only for Cigars International, and is a frequent product in their introductory samplers. I have had one before about a year ago, and enjoyed it quite a bit, so when this one was gifted to me, I was looking forward to it.

Almost perfect construction with a very nice brown wrapper, and very little veining to be seen. Pre-light draw is a little harder than what I am used to, and this persists throughout the smoke.

The ash is a beautifull light grey color, and holds for an inch or so before falling off. No burn problems to report, and the taste was very smooth, and mild. Once in a while it is nice to have a milder cigar, and this is it. I cannot say anything about flavors, just good tobacco taste, and a pleasant finish.

All in all, a very good cigar that I enjoyed to the nub. I would give it an 85, only because it was a little milder than what I am used to. I would say I have out grown this cigar.

Thanks for reading, and let me know what you think!
