A Real Blockhead…

‘Murica, son! Home of hot rods, pin-up chicks, and CAO’s greatest offering: CAO Flathead. Borrowing inspiration from American muscle cars, Flathead not only sports a highly-unique shape, but backs it up with a high-octane blend. Instead of the traditional round or torpedo shaped head, this sleek handmade is completely squared off. 

Heavy in the hand, CAO Flathead starts with a well-fermented Connecticut Broadleaf maduro wrapper. Thick and chewy, the leaf conceals a bevy of Nicaraguan and Dominican long-fillers embraced by a Connecticut Habano-seed binder. Then, each cigar is carefully box-pressed. We could tell you how good it is, or we could say this — CAO Flathead has over 2,000 customer reviews on CI, averaging 5 stars out of 5, and is the highest rated 60-ring cigar by Cigar Aficionado. Ever. 

Named the #3 Cigar of 2015, Flathead received an astounding 95-rating, noting: “From the first light, this seriously squared-off cigar takes off with notes of ripe fruit, leather, and molasses that only gain intensity.”

Very heavy smoke. I don’t think it deserves a mid 90s rating. But I definitely would put it right around 90.

Not even close to the Flathead 660, but still enjoyed them. On a scale of 1-10 the V660 are an 8, but these V554 are only a 6. Bad durn with less flavor. I received a heavy discount, but will stick with the better quality smoke moving forward. I hope this helped

This is a smoker’s smoke. It has the three B’s. It’s big, bold and beautiful. This is my evening go-to smoke after a nice weekend meal. Do yourself a favor…don’t light it unless you have the time to enjoy it. It’s an amazing smoke.

I got 5 as part of a 35 cigar sampler. The other 30 were all well made and did not require much attention. But these five all wanted to tunnel or canoe. It took a lot of attention to keep them burning on track. Flavor was fine, but all five required selective wetting and selective relighting to get a consistent burn.

This cigar never disappoints. I initially smoked this cigar some time ago. I was immediately impressed. The construction of this stick is impeccable. Solid and firm, yet allowing for a full enjoyable draw. It is full bodied with great notes that do not diminish nor become overwhelming. This cigar is highly recommended. Enjoy!
