CAO Gold Torpedo
Cigar Aficionado · Dec 1, 2019
The open, nearly effortless draw of this large pyramid delivers a woody smoke that bursts with lively notes of orange peel, almond and raisins, all of which converge on the finish.

Stogies on the Rocks · Apr 23, 2014
Overall I was very impressed with this It was a consistently great cigar. The construction was perfect I never had an issue and the flavors were consistent all the way through. It’s hard to ask more from a cigar. Even though the flavors were consistent, there was still a level of complexity. The flavors ebbed and flowed with each other and created a nice balance between them all. If you haven’t tried this yet then you need to pick one up.Read full review on Stogies on the Rocks
CAO Gold
Holt's Staff Reviews · Mar 4, 2021
I am reviewing CAO Gold in a 5 x 50 Robusto, a staple in the brand’s portfolio. CAO is named for brand founder Cano A. Ozenger, who launched the company during the Cigar Boom of the 1990s. Ozenger ran the company with his children, Tim and Aylin. Early on, the Ozengers relied on a handful of different cigar factories to produce their cigars. Eventually, the bulk of CAO production was transferred to the Torano family. In 2007, the Ozengers sold the brand and CAO was folded into the portfolio of General Cigar, the parent company of other national labels, including Macanudo and Cohiba.Read full review on Holt's Staff Reviews
