From the family that brought us the Italia, and Brazilia cigars...CAO brings yet another Quality stick to their exponentially growing horde of fans! The America took 3rd place in the FIGURADO class of Aficionado's Annual Best Of competition. I fell in love with this smoke from the time I fired up the Calibri. It was GREAT start to finish. Beautiful presentation with its pin striped wrapper made of Connecticut and Brazilian leaves intertwined to give it a unique and regal appearance. The CAO America is Spicy Sweet, with hints of mocha, wood, and vanilla. Definitely one of my ALL-Time Favorites among all BRANDS and at least in my top 3 from CAO...

CAO Italia Review
I was introduced to the Italia on a trip to Nashville, TN where SGC Group CEO Steve Cassidy met me for some Maker's Mark and consulting...over cigars no less!!! The CAO Italia is medium bodied, smooth drawing, and an even burn. Hints of cedar and sweet chocolate make this one of my all time favorite cigars. I recommend enjoying this cigar with Maker's Marks because the rich vanilla complements the Italia's subtle sweetness and balances out it's woody finish... I also recommend enjoying both Maker's and Italia with good friends or new, it will create lasting memories of great times!
