In honor of our Independence Day (July 4^th for those outside of the U.S) I would smoke something that although not American shares the name, felling and taste of America.

 

Who out there is not a fan of CAO cigars raise your hand… You in the back put your hand down you know your full of shit.

CAO is one of the most respected cigars manufactures they have Style, Charisma and the talent to make even your mother in-laws burnt cooking taste like fillet mingnon.

 

 

The America selection will not disappoint with a 92 rating from the Powers that be. The America has a deep earthy although sometimes heavy taste with notes of cedar and oak and with the twin Connecticut wrapper gives you minute hints of chocolate, but very slight.

Despite the fact that it is not 100% American Tobaccos this selection has all the heart and soul of America, and is one of the creamier and smoothest of the CAO brands.

The construction is good, except sometimes you will have an uneven burn due to the “Barber Pole” wrappers. I have enjoyed a dozen or so of these and I will confirm I have had one unravel a bit and 3 burn uneven and at no point did I cuss it out, this is one of my 3 favorite CAO selections. Rich taste and well worth the time and money.

We give this one a rating of 8 out of 10

Happy 4^th of July America, Happy Monday and Tuesday to the rest of the world and to Canada I say Good day Eh!
