CAO Gold

Description

One of CAO’s First and Finest 90-Rated Cigars

Check out CAO Gold, one of the cigars that put CAO on the map. Blended with handpicked, aged long leaves, Gold reliably delivers a classic cigar experience, and comes handsomely packaged in great looking cedar chests.

Don’t be fooled by the pristine Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper on CAO Gold, this cigar is not mellow. Weighing in at more of a medium-body, Gold’s exquisite wrapper is expertly applied atop of Cuban-seed Nicaraguan filler and binder. Overall, we’re looking at a silky cigar that’s deep and complex. If you’re hankering for a real morsel, you’ve come to the right place. 

The CAO Gold received a 91-rating, noting: ”...delivers a woody smoke that bursts with lively notes of orange peel, almond and raisins, all of which converge on the finish.”

Note: CAO Gold recently underwent a packaging update. We currently have a mix of old and new packaging, so you may receive either. The cigars are the same, just the bands & boxes have changed.

Nice taste slightly on the creamy side, but there were hot spots and had a tendency to have a tough time on the draw. CAO has made much better smokes and this was an interesting experiment but not something I would probably order again.

I have a 2 favorites from this brand, the MADURO ROBUSTO and this one, the GOLD ROBUSTO. I have tried most other varieties from this company, a few are decent and some I cannot understand their release. Cigars that stand on their blend and build excellence do not need gimmicks to sell consistently.

A nice smooth CT wrapper cigar. About a 30-40 minute smoke with the 5X50 ring. Similar in taste to a Macanudo Cafe, though not quite as creamy.

This came as one of the three in a mellow sampler. Decent smoke. Little more toward medium but still easy to enjoy. Burned well with a nice tight white ash…though hard to really tell as when I’m enjoying a stogie I’m playing golf! Love the samplers. Great way to try other products.

I rarely hesitate when a good deal on any CAO stick that crosses my in-box. Their gold blend is one of my favorites. The cigar presents as a mellow smoke but, spoiler alert, it is so much more. From the first puff through the nub the cigar evolves with creamy, nutty goodness through coffee, leather and a lingering sweetness. Highly recommend.

This has a thin wrapper that tears easily around the crown which distracts from the overall experience. The flavor is great, but the shape may be a bit much for the wrapper.

I'm a huge fan of the CAO line, but this is probably my least favorite of their offerings. The flavor was what I'd expect out of a Connecticut, but the perfecto performance was hit or miss as I experienced a few wrapper issues that left me holding it together to finish.
