Andy #5 - CAO Black VR

borndead1 · 07-29-2009, 07:48 AM

Since I've already smoked all 5 PIs, do I still have to review the final 3 or can I smoke them at my leisure?

FINAL SCORE:

borndead1 - 4
EEE - 1

I like the CAO Brazillia, but that's about it. I was highly dissapointed in the CAO Gold, Black, and completely let down by the Sopranos. I guess the VR isn't to my liking either.

I thought that this cigar might be a Reyes b/c of the mustiness, but it didn't have any grassy and wet hay flavors that come with most Reyes and PI sticks.

Well to be honest he did hint that it MAY not be a reyes family cigar. I dont think he was way off on that #5 review... And if you want to really be picky, taking the review of your Pepin into consideration, I think this tie you both up if anything! hehehe

Andy was more basing his judgment wether it was a reyes or not based on if it was good... He just didnt take into account there are other cigars out there with the same qualities.

Nice reviews guys, I really enjoyed reading them.

Cigar #6

Construction: 5x50 medium/light brown wrapper

Pre-Light: Smooth draw with hints of cedar.

1st Third: The aroma is pleasant upon lighting. Cocoa flavor appears briefly then dissapates. Cedar is also present. A slight citrus flavor is now detectable. Cedar and citrus: not a bad combination. Citrus is now the dominant flavor. A little bit of spice is detectable through the nose.

2nd Third: Still very citrusy. Flavor has remained very consistent.

Final Third: Citrus is still strong.

Final Thoughts: I enjoyed this stick, even though it wasn't very complex (which isn't always bad in my book). Citrus is a flavor that isn't very prevalent in many cigars that I smoke, so it was nice to have for a change.
There is no way that this is a Reyes product.
