CAO Maduro Belicoso
"They Put The "M" In Maduro!!!!"
These are the best tasting Maduro's I've smoked,and believe me I've smoked many.You should try them aged for a few months in optimum humidity!! Wow so smooth... Almost cream like smoke, and for the price! 125$ a box,wow! Hands down, a must have for the true Maduro enthusiest. They also burn for a while, and stay lit.

CAO Maduro Belicoso
"My new reference maduro"
I haven't been smoking for all that long but I have tried a lot of different sticks and am constantly narrowing it down to what I really, truly crave in a smoke. This cigar is it. It's the smoothest, creamiest smoke I've ever had. It's one of those smokes that proves there's a distinct difference between shear strength and fullness of flavor; there's lots of wonderful taste and not a single shred of harshness all the way down to the nub. The burn and draw are just about perfect, and it can handle being put down for minutes at a time. Plus, it's just plain gorgeous to look at and to smoke. In the desert island scenario where you could only have one of this, one of that, this would be the cigar I'd choose.

CAO Maduro Petites (10)
"CAO Petites (tried maduro and vanilla)"
The wrappers were to veiny. The taste was very good. These cigars burned evenly and cool. I bought one petite vanilla and the WHOLE tip fell off after a few puffs. The taste was enjoyable, but I will stick to their larger cigars. Their average size cigars seem to be much better made. Unless they improve they would be a last resort buy only.

CAO Maduro Belicoso
"Wonderfully strong, consistently tasty"
I don't know how I first discovered these but have been smoking the Belicoso for about 2 years now. This cigar very nearly makes the 25-year search for a non-Cuban 'keeper' worthwhile. It's a big step up from the Santa Rosa Torpedo Maduro that I'd been smoking. Santa Rosa boxes turned out to be different every time: each new box was either a trick or treat. The CAOs seem respectfully manufactured. Except for one box which had floppy tips, the cigars have been excellent in their construction. The use of a cello wrap is recent. Although the cellophane dampens the visual effect upon cracking a box, it does wonders for the overall health of the cigar. My Belicosos now seem even more rich. The wrapper has a wonderful feel and exudes a nice oil. The cello seems to make a hint of raisin available in the cigar, something that was absent pre-cello. This however dissipates soon after the initial lighting.
The Belicoso is a smoke that is rich and strong at the same time. The smoke is meaty without being harsh or coarse. It offers a consistent taste up to the bitter end without getting sloppy. You have to watch the burn to ensure eveness. The wrapper seems fragile at times: do not stick it out the window of your car to knock off ash while driving if you want to preserve the integrity of the wrapper. Speaking of cigars and cars, the Belicoso is tough enough to sit by itself in a car for a two day smoke - nothing will dry it out. The Belicoso ash could be nicer, but I guess one doesn't smoke the ash ....Famous Smoke makes it even easier to enjoy the Belicoso with their superior attentiveness to customer treatment.

CAO Maduro Robusto
"A Dark, Rich, Beauty"
What a surprise when I tried one of these when I could not get another cigar that I wanted. on the suggestion of my retailer, I had one and am truly pleased with the full taste, easy draw and great construction of this beauty. It is one to be savored slowly.

CAO Maduro Churchill
"Light one up with a glass of Makers Mark Bourbon!"
These beauties are outstanding!! A rich, cocoa and coffee flavor with an exceptional draw. Beautiful construction and a perfect burn. Grab yourself a glass of Makers Mark Bourbon, throw in a couple cubes, snap the end of one of these and enjoy the next hour of your life. It doesn't get any better than that!!

"Well worth the price"
The maduro is more to my taste than the Cameroon wrapper but both are outstanding smokes. A smooth silky taste. I like these after a great dinner at a fine restaurant and always keep a couple in my humidor for those occasions.
