C.A.O. is the company that has honored other countries of origin with cigars made from tobaccos grown within their borders. Brazilia, Cameroon, and Italia come to mind. These are not simply publicity tricks, because the cigars bearing these names have earned the highest ratings from the prestigious industry publications. Into this honored pantheon now comes America. True to the C.A.O. tradition, selling out its entire production for the ensuing six months, C.A.O.’s America enjoyed the best introduction of any new cigar the “International Premium Cigar and Pipe Retailers” (IPCPR) trade show.


Our allotment of America is far short of what we wanted, but if you act quickly, you can still get your share. C.A.O. America’s distinctive pinstripe wrapper is the product of two wrapper leaves, a golden brown Connecticut Shade, and a chocolate brown Connecticut Broadleaf. However, this unusual cigar doesn’t stop there. Included in the cosmopolitan blend of long-fillers is tobacco hailing from Nicaragua, the Dominican Republic, Italy, and the United States. See what the fuss at the tobacconists’ trade show was all about. Get your supply of C.A.O. America today.

I absolutely love this cigar it is a great smoke. The price is excellent. This cigar is is medium to full bodied smoke that burns evenly all the way to the end. The aroma is outstanding, I am not sure of the exact notes of flavor or aroma, but I love it!!!! Please never run out of this one! I have only 1 left and I am going save it for a special occasion or until my next shipment comes .

Not a bad smoke, but they are dense. Good ash, and the flavor is ok, but I thought it would be better. They apparently smell very "tobacco-ey". I'll finish off the 5-pack and figure out if I want to try them again or not.

The 3 I have smoked were of great construction the draw was good however down to the last third they were difficult to keep lit; this may have something to do with altitude in Colorado Springs, or maybe they need to stay in my humidor a while. Flavor was medium to full. I am a fan of all the CAO sticks I have tried. Packaging was nice and tight.

Of all the CAO cigars this is my favorite. Great flavor, interesting wrapper, very enjoyable. Occasionally, I'll get a bit of uneven burn, but a simple touch up brings it back in line. I've never had a bad CAO cigar of any type & have always enjoyed them all. This is a brand that I seek out for purchases.

I read some not so good reviews about this cigar before I smoked it. And what I have come to know is "to each his own!" If your looking for a real power house of a cigar, then this is not it! But if you want a medium-full, well....now you found it! I picked this up in a four pack sampler, and I wish I had more. It came on strong in the beginning, and then it mellowed itself out about the second third....but not that much. The flavor of leather is there continuously. This CAO maybe be over looked, but not by me. It will have a place in my humidor for sure, once I get some more!

All I can say is wow. Bought one locally to test out and see if it is worth ordering a box from Thompson. The cigar itself is gorgeous with the thin pinstripe spiraling down, and that oh so patriotic band. Smelled great and had the perfect firmness to it. Easy to cut but lighting was difficult, but I won't count that against this cigar because it very well could have been my lighters fault because it isn't of the greatest quality. The taste of this one is out of this world. I usually prefer cigars with a hint of vanilla or nut, like the CAO Gold, but this one was a light leather or wood taste. This had a beautiful draw and I sucked it down until it was too hot to handle because I didn't want to let it go to waste. I plan on buying a case of these and leaving it out for some of the gentlemen that go to a fireworks show my friends and I put on. Hopefully Thompson puts these on the auction part of the website because the price seems a little high. Overall it is a wonderful cigar, great medium-full strength in my opinion, and a must have for Independence Day. Happy Smoking and God Bless The USA!
