CAO Cigars Colombia

CAO Colombia Bogota

Cigar Aficionado · Aug 1, 2016

A large, thick cigar that draws and burns evenly. It's core of earth and wood is balanced by sweet, fruity notes of black cherry and nougat with a nutty touch of cashew.

This is a cigar that would be great early in the day with a cup of coffee (makes sense with the Colombian filler). It's mild to medium, so it's not going to kill your palate for later in the evening when you bust out the strong cigars. The construction was excellent and there was plenty of satisfying flavor to keep me interested from beginning to end.

CAO Colombia Vallenato

Halfwheel · Aug 8, 2014 · August 2014

Like many of you, I scanned over the General Cigar IPCPR post looking at pictures. I had heard about some releases, most notably the new Cohibas and the other CAO, but I did not read the details regarding the CAO Colombia. I had no clue about the pricing or blend up until a few hours before this review is published. Towards the top of my notes lies, “definitely not a Colombian puro.” If you’ve smoked pure grade Colombian tobacco, you will know this is not it. In addition, if you smoked the original CAO Colombia, you will also know this is a much different blend. While you might wonder if new version outperforms the original—I don’t believe so—the better question is whether this is good? It’s incredibly unique, one of the more unique profiles I’ve smoked this year and most certainly the most unique cigar I’ve smoked from General in a while. I say go for it; it’s good, not great. If you ever thought the company “could not make a good cigar”—the CAO Colombia is evidence to the contrary. And then when you look it your receipt and realize that it did not cost $10, you might just like it quite a bit more.
