Notes:

The CAO anniversary series is one of my all time favorite lines of cigars. Box-pressed, smooth and solid they are a class act all the way.

This big old torpedo was as tasty as can be. It was strong and rich but never harsh. The flavor kept building all the way down to the end.

My only compliant is that this particular cigar did not burn well at all. It was rough and uneven all the way, the ash was flaky and messy. This is very uncharacteristic for these cigars. There's no way one sloppy stick is gonna take it off of my favorites list, it's just very unusual for this brand.
