CAO Gold corona

[SD_Dave]

A couple comments rather than a full review.

I credit CAO Gold with turning me into a regular cigar smoker. I picked up a box of coronas over a year ago. I still have several in my humidor as my tastes have changed and I'm leaning towards more complexity and larger ring gauge. I noticed a lonely one with a slight wrapper tear and decided to fire it up. I was out back and today the normal breeze is noticeably absent.

These are still very good. It was mild and smooth the whole way. It drew perfectly for a corona and burned flawlessly with plenty of billowing smoke. That wrapper tear never expanded and the cigar burned right through it like it wasn't there. I almost let it go out while attending to something in the back lawn but was able to get it going again without needing a relight. It never picked up a bit of harshness (but didn't really develop any complexity either).

About halfway down I added a Whitecap Winter Ale, which went quite nicely with this mild, smooth smoke. Overall it was a very pleasant experience.

Watching the Chargers win in Kansas City may have helped contribute to my enjoyment.

Great picture. I've just set up a photobucket account and was able to post my first picture yesterday. Hopefully I can include pictures in the future (especially if I can take some as nice as the one you posted).
