Description

The Darker Side of Nicaragua’s First Mellow Handmade

It’s safe to say, after the success of CAO Brazilia and CAO Black ‘VR,’ that the CAO brand has revolutionized the Brazilian Maduro wrapper leaf. So why not put it on their top-selling blend, CAO Gold? And that’s exactly what they did. CAO Gold Maduro is a re-invention of one of the first 90-rated CAO blends.

CAO Gold Maduro combined the mellow long-filler combination of Nicaraguan tobaccos used in the traditional Gold series, but wraps it in a dark and toothy Brazilian Maduro leaf. The result is a chewy, medium-bodied flavor with hints of coffee delivered in a most pleasing creamy, buttery fashion.

Good, spicy, Maduro. It burns smoothly and evenly. The draw is also exceptionally smooth. The perfect cigar for a nice evening after dinner smoke.

End of year deal. . . . Always a CAO fan, but never had this one. Strong, but not offensive. Smooth draw, even, slow burn. Best accompanied with a smooth bourbon. Cheers !

Truly an amazing cigar for an amazing price. Like most CAO cigars this is truly box worthy. Not your typical Maduro, but complex and full of amazing tasting notes. Thank you for a great deal CI.

I have been a fan of the cigar for over 10 years. I have bought numerous boxes & have NEVER come across a bad one. Great taste, burn & construction. A great cigar that is enjoyed either as your first of the day or your last. Peppery and Earthy...you can't beat it.

I find these cigars to be very favorable and not at all harsh. They are a refreshing smoke with an easy draw. I particularly like the length and ring size for a longer more enjoyable experience.

I have always enjoyed CAO Brazilia but thought a slightly less intense version of that cigar would be perfect for all those more casual/less intense times. This cigar hits that spot perfectly. Outstanding CAO burn quality and depth of flavor for a Maduro smoker. Cheers.

My favorite cigar is a Maduro, my favorite size is a Robusto. This cigar fills the bill for all my pleasures in a great stik! A mild to med smoke that stays the same from lighting to nub. Great flavor! This cigar is new to me, but you can rest assured, it won't be a stranger to my humidors.

The first cigar I had only burned about a third then got mushy and stop the burning all together. Second one burned well. Has a nice peppery flavor. Hopefully the remaining won't have a burn problem.

I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this cigar. A friend recommended this CAO to me as both a reasonably priced and mild cigar. My impression had been that a maduro would be stronger than i would like. Not the case. This was a smooth smoke with just the right strength. I’ll be keeping some of these in my humidor long term.

I got a five pack of robusto CAO Gold Maduros two weeks ago and smoked my first one today. A smooth, mild cigar that burned evenly. The wrapper held together and the cap stayed intact - important to an enjoyable, hassle free smoke. The flavor was mild but tasty, getting stronger but never bitter near the end. A great cigar for the price.

I have purchased these for the past 3 years. They are an excellent smoke. Will continue to keep these in my humidor along with other fine smokes. Easy draw, good taste, nice smoke and the ash really tells the story of a perfect wrapped cigar.

Excellent cigar. I am a fan of the maduro wrapper and loved the Cao Gold so I figured this combination is a can't miss. I was correct. Purchased a 5 pack to try them out and immediately purchased a whole box. These are a great buy for anyone. They are a medium, smooth smoke with a touch of spice on the wrapper. Highly recommend.

I'm usually not a fan of anything that's not full bodied, but this one wasn't bad. Delicious creamy smoke that just lingers on the tongue. Great cigar to start the morning with a cup of coffee. Mmm!

Just finished my first CAO Gold maduro. Excellent stick! Tight draw, which I don't usually like, but it seemed to really allow me to savor the flavors, of which there were many! Took me about an hour and a half to burn this bad boy to the nub. The foot was smooth and rich, while the finishing notes of earth and pepper stayed on my palate for quite awhile. I definitely will be enjoying this cigar again in the future!
