NOTE: These are very small cigars, maybe finger size and length. Smaller than most blunts.
Flavour on the light side. I was hoping for a stronger vanilla note.

Decent smoke. Light flavour, good burn. On the smaller side, took less than half an hour to finish. The price is a little steep, for it’s size, so I probably won’t pick one up again.

The tobacco flavour, construction and smoke are decent. The vanilla flavor wasn’t as present as I wanted, but it had some interesting earthy tobacco notes. The price at $8.58 a stick is a bit high in my opinion, for a ring finger sized stick. Might be appreciated by someone who likes a fatter cigarillo with an elusive vanilla flavour.

I really like these. A nice little half an hour-45 min smoke. I smoke one cigar a day whether its a presidente or something like one of these. The vanilla room note is real nice. The taste is pleasant as well. Very nice constant burn. I will probably pick up another 5 of these soon enough!

Really enjoyed these, as others mentioned they are small but quality burn, light in taste with a hint of vanilla, I highly recommend it if you like lighter cigars

I bought one of these at my local B&M for way more money ($17+7 tax, $24 total) and it was genuinely bad. Not as bad as some low end junk, but nowhere near what I’d expect from CAO. I’d say it’s about the level of whatever would be considered “good” for a gas station cigar. I wouldn’t recommend this, try the CAO flatheads instead

Pricey for the size, but fair quality; good taste and well balanced flavour profile although on the milder/lighter side, none of the flavours really stand out on their own unless you’re focused on finding it. I have only experienced an even burn with the ones I’ve had.
Vanilla flavour notes are subtle, a little more present in residual smoke. I would consider these more of a lunch break smoke. Not big enough to consume much time, but long enough to relax and re-center yourself.
I prefer to smoke my cigars outside in a light breeze and these ones last long enough that my fingers just start to get a little uncomfortable in the cold of a Canadian winter.
For what it’s worth, I smoke my cigars pretty fast. These last me about 20 minutes.
I liked these enough to keep them on my wishlist to restock for winter since going through my first five sticks.

These are a very quick smoke with the small size, the vanilla flavour isn’t very strong but the smell of vanilla is there.

Excellent cigar. Just a hint of vanilla. The smoke is smooth and light. No harsh or acidic taste on the tongue like many other cigars. I would give it five stars but it is a little pricey. Don’t let the other reviews fool you, this is a very light and enjoyable cigar.

I’m with Aaron on this one. Not terrible, but not as expected in terms of flavor strength.
