CAO Americana Pontimac (sp?)

[Jhard1121]

So I have had this CAO Americana Pontimac sitting in my humi for at least a year. Yesterday I finally decided to light it up. I found the cigar to be a bit one-dimensional, with little flavor evolution. It reminded me of all the other CAO's I have had. It was a solid smoke, but I found it to be a tad unexciting. I must say though, the wrapper was one of the most beautiful that I have ever seen. Any thoughts on this cigar if you have smoked it as well?

I have not had it but I have had the Mx2 box press maduro. It was not exciting either. Kind of dull. But who knows I have only had one CAO.

I really don't like this blend. Found it harsh and off-putting. Oh, and it's Potomac. :smile:

Although I was pleasantly surprised with their new release the La Traviata.

Really ? I have 5 of those setting in my humidor to be smoked in every national day for the next 5 years ! Oh well :scratchhe

RobustoMoe, try one, you might like it. I dont consider it to be a dog rocket or anything, but its really not anything to write home about, especially for 7-8 bucks a stick.

I bought a 4 pack sampler of these. I tried one and it was just OK. Since my birthday is July 4th I'm saving the perfecto for that. So when I'm ready it will have a year in the box on it. I hope that makes it a little more interesting.

Did the sampler have 4 Americanas or did it have a Italiano and a Brazilia as well? Thats the sampler I picked up and it was mediocre all around

I couldn't agree more with your assessment. One-dimensional and very little flavor evolution.

The one I smoked had two wrappers, one a maduro and one a conn. wrapper. I was hoping that these two flavors would interplay with each other in an interesting way, however they just seemed to cancel one another out.

My firewall and filter will not allow that site to open. On purpose.

Thats not the sampler I purchased, the one I smoked was the little foul guy on the far left. The short maduro
