CAO Session

Description

Any time’s a good time for a Session.

What exactly is a Session cigar? Well, if you like beer as much as we do here at the offices, you might have heard of a session beer. Session beers have a relatively low ABV but are packed with flavor, so you can enjoy them all day long without crossing over into ‘irresponsible drinking’ territory or waking up with a massive headache. That’s the idea behind Session by CAO, a session-style cigar with tons of flavor and a strength level that makes for an all-day puffer. 

The blend features Dominican Piloto Cubano and Nicaraguan Esteli leaves for the filler, secured with a Dominican Vega Especial binder and a thick, toothy Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper. These sticks are definitely full-flavored, but medium bodied without a whole lot of pepper and without a hint of harshness. The flavors of cinnamon, earth, nuts, and chocolate work in perfect balance resulting in a stick you’ll never think twice before lighting up, no matter what time of day it is. Grab a box and have a session whenever the mood strikes. 

The CAO Session has been awarded a well-deserved 90-point rating, noting "There's a stark contrast between the white ash of this cigar and the dark wrapper. It's a sweet and spicy smoke that shows elements of red pepper and leather along with hints of chocolate, raisins and vanilla."

Cigar with a very good draw and good flavor. I would rate it as a medium strength with a hint of cocoa and tobacco flavor. IMO it's better than the flathead. Now my favorite CAO cigar. Plenty of smoke.

I am a big fan of CAO cigars in general. This one seems to get fairly bold toward the end. I prefer a cigar with more consistency in taste.

This CAO Session looks like a dark maduro and you make think it would be heavy and hearty; well, it isn’t. The stick burns nice and even, has a strong maduro smell, but taste like a medium strength cigar. Another excellent smoke from CAO.

I live on the Oregon Coast and I enjoy an after dinner walk on the beach. Lit up a Session and enjoyed the generous smoke, the even circumfrence burn, and a pleasant smoke all the way to the end. The sky was clear and the stars were bright.

As soon as I lit this cigar I could tell this was going to be good ...the draw was smooth and it burned extremely well. You can really taste the hint of cinnamon, chocolate, nuts and a little earthy. One of my favorite sticks !!!

It has great flavor. Has a pretty easy draw. I used a large punch, which I don't normally use. It smokes nice and slow, however it kept burning unevenly. If it wasn't uneven it would be a 5.

I bought one of these at the CI-Dallas shop to try it out. In short, a great smoke. Wound up buying a box of 6x60's. They have a great draw and a flavor close to Nat Sherman's Hampton which sadly are no longer produced. A really good cigar.

GREAT CIGAR . A new cigar smoker would love them also an old timer. Taste is not mild but not harsh . Perfect for what I like in a cigar. No nasty after taste. Tried many but this is one good cigar. Good with a nice scotch.

I'm excited to write this review because I have smoked two out of the five that I've received and they both had a sweet tobacco/cap. Not infused, but more like a sobremesa. My wife loved it and she went to our local b&m and was let down because it wasn't like the ones I purchased. I'm not sure what is going on, but I really like them and the bold flavors. CI OMG I need more asap.

Having my first one of these while I write this review. This is one of my new favorite cigars. Love this smoke! Looks like it would be a lot stronger than it is. Fantastic medium smoke and pairs nicely with a glass of Maker's Mark. Thank you CAO for this awesome cigar!
