Not in my experience - and I think most of the comments you'll read on CS are exactly the opposite. In fact, I think most find that the Brazilia and Italia are the most full-bodied offerings from CAO. The Gold is usually very mild -

:r Now THAT is a classic Freudian slip if I've ever seen one. GET THAT DISCIPLINE OUT OF THERE!! :r

Sean, got your test subjects today, hope to try one tonight. Thanks for the bonus stogies as well - they look delicious!

The reason I posted this question is because it seems like a lot of reviews talk about the kickbutt, powerful last third of the cigar. I always seem to notice not necessarily more pepper flavors, but just more heat, which I thought might be confused with peppery heat. Might just be me. I'm...

The quality of those jasmine-scented oriental thongs is just outstanding.

I have read a whole heckuva lot of reviews that discuss taste differences from the first third to the second and then the final third of a cigar. One of the most common cigars to which I have seen this analysis apply is the Cuban Bolivar which, if I remember, is supposed to pick up considerable...

PDS, did you ever try them again? If so, were you more impressed?

Jokieman, you smoked a Maduro that was at least 3 years old - I think that may have come from a split I did with Glove. Those sticks were stored in CAO's corporate humidor for the last 3 years - just thought you'd want to know the story behind your stick. BTW, my tasting review would read very...

1. Perdomo Mistake torp from SeanGAR - very nice, mild, creamy. 2. Cohiba Robusto from Glovepuppy - I thought it was excellent, but not that much better than a... 3. CAO Criollo Pato. The old standby. 4. Partagas Short. Someone else posted that the one he smoked recently was like tabasco...

I am officially excited. This is the first test I have had since the bar exam. This gives me a legitimate excuse to study, in a subject I really like. :D

If you call the USPS, sometimes they can tell you specific information on who delivers a package to a certain address and you can follow up with the actual carrier - I have had that happen on a couple of occasions when I ordered stuff to be sent to my office and it ended up being delivered to...

Sean, if you've still got room, I'll give it a shot, unless you are looking exclusively for more experienced palates. In which case, I will defer gladly to said experienced tasters.

Justin, what size was your cigar? I have had the churchill and the robusto, neither of which have given me any problems with draw. In fact, according to the guys at CAO, each cigar is draw tested before leaving the factory. After they put the caps on, they use a tiny needle through the cap to...

Isn't that Mrs. Dennis Rodman?

Ummm...I'll give it a shot. I think the Floydps (bofum) should win, because they "seek the center" and attempt to bring everyone down off the soapboxes. They guide and encourage us all to rediscover the fun in this forum. IMHO.
