Cameroon (mild-to-medium, lots of flavor, one of my long-time favorite CAOs) OK that I am going to look into. As far as la Traviata I have not been able to try it.

OK that I am going to look into.
As far as la Traviata I have not been able to try it.
Brasilia ( smoked another one ) and it does not make me happy.
In the mean time I could not locate any Vintage Gold yet…

It's spicy and full-bodied and almost always enjoyable. The Italia is good, but not great, in my opinion. I won't turn them down if offered, but don't often go in search of them. The Criollo is very good when I'm in the mood for it, but again not something I go in search of. The Gold (regular series) is a decent mild cigar, and good as CAO's first foray into the marketplace, but has been outdone about a hundred times in the last 10 years. Again, just my opinions. If you are searching for some other interesting smokes from the CAO lineup, I would recommend the Sopranos (a little pricey, but full-bodied, full-flavored, and worth it on occasion), MX2 (sweet, medium-to-full), LX2 (spicy, full-bodied, tons of flavor), and Cameroon (mild-to-medium, lots of flavor, one of my long-time favorite CAOs). I know you've already mentioned looking for La Traviata...fantastic smoke, I'm planning on buying a box (and I already bought box of Gold Vintage...another homerun from CAO). Lucas,

In the meantime then let me ask you what are your feelings on : CAO ITALIA CAO BRASILIA CAO GOLD ( then ) CAO CRIOLLO All those i smoke at least 2 to make sure I had the right feeling.

Ive been smoking cigars for a long time almost 20 years and i have to say CAO hit a home run when they released CAO gold vintage an excellant cigar creamy and the construction is second to nune,also the la traviata that i believe came out almost the same time is also delicious.They backed up there name and i for one am a CAO fan for life.

I will try to get some of those it is highly possible that i have the CAO Gold. in the meantime in the past 2 weeks I smoked a CAO Italia and Brasilia... Let me tell you my feeling about the set... YES CAO cigars are clean presentation, well marketed but ultimately it all comes down to the taste and the experience. When it comes to that the entire efforts that CAO puts out are killed. The product has to follow up their image. I am big into cubans since i lived most of my life in europe. Since I am now in the usa I discovered the other origins... Nicaragua, dominicans, ecuador, etc... Cao is def not on my top list. I will find a gold vintage and come back to this page for review. Search for Cigar Intelligence Agency in facebook and join the research, review, and talks. Best, Lucas OK. I will try to get some of those it is highly possible that i have the CAO Gold.

My guess: you got a box of CAO Gold. And there is a huge difference. CAO made a big deal about the wrapper of the Vintage being from the banner 2004 harvest year, but if you look at their website you'll find out that pretty much the entire blend is different from the regular Gold. I personally am not a big fan of the Gold, but think the Gold Vintage is one of the finest mild smokes on the market. Lucas,

Again it's flat, and it's to safe to smoke. SAFE is my word since there is never a surprise. I got a box of 20 for my birthday and i am satisfied but not exited. I stick with Double Corwn Maximus, Alec Bradley, Rocky Patel, Ghurka... Not bad but not good either…. Again it’s flat, and it’s to safe to smoke. SAFE is my word since there is never a surprise.
