Any opinions on the CAO Sopranos line?

I had a couple a year ago just wasnt impressed at all. Not for me.

I think they are WAY over priced and an average cigar at best.

I’ve been wanting to try them for a while now but they seem a little pricey and I was wondering if it just because of the Soprano name. My B&M sells the 3 sizes for around $10, $12 and $15 I think. I don’t plan on purchasing one until I’m back to work but even then I am just wondering if they are actually worth it or not. I don’t want to spend extra money just for hype.

If you wanted to try them I would be willing to make up a trade with you. PM me if you are interested, this way you can spend $0 and try them out.

I smoked a Tony size this past weekend. Had over a year of age on it, the draw was extremely tight and it didn't have a whole lot going on with it. It was not worth the money by a long shot. Hope you have a better experience with them.

My partner at work paid 15 apiece for 2 to get his choice of any 5 pack somewhere online. I ended up with the Soprano Boss sticks cause they were too long for his humi in its current configuration. Still aging. They're huge, oily, and very dark. Seems like they'd be pretty strong. Haven't had any of the CAO line yet.

Have heard a lot of good talk about these La Traviatas lately. Looked em up online to grab a fiver but can only find boxes. Does anyone know where to grab just a fiver?

My dad and I must be alone here but I didn't see anything special about them at all. I am glad I only bought two robustos' because I wouldn't even put it in my top ten. Trust me it is rare my dad and I both do not like a cigar.

Hmmm... maybe I should look for singles then and grab this fiver of RP summer collection I've been lookin at.

Maybe the ones we got were just not old enough all I know is it was very one dimensional and lacked any signs of complexity. I paid like 6 bucks and have experienced better from cheaper. Just my .02 though.

I can think of a long list of sticks I would rather have for less money.

Have to agree with everyone on this thread. There are many better options from CAO (Lx2, Brazilia, La Traviata, etc.) at a fraction of the cost of the Sopranos line.

I bought the Soprano sampler just to have.
