Any opinions out there on the CAO Flathead? I can't help but be a little intrigued by stuff this company puts out, even though it's "new CAO" release. Atlantic now carrying a size I'd actually like: http://www.atlanticcigar.com/All-Cigars/CAO-Flathead-V450-Spark-Plug.asp
I'm sure I'm in the minority here but I had the "lancero" sized one and wasn't impressed. And you should note that I have enjoyed a number of CAOs. Received a Flathead at CF this year, I think it was the 6x60. I was gonna pitch it and Charlie said that he liked 'em and so I gave it to him. I'm sure that doesn't help. Sorry
It helps plenty. I figure, worst case, it'll be another ordinary CAO cigar. I'll grab one locally if I see one. As much as I've enjoyed the La Traviata and Sopranos, most of the others haven't been any better to my tastes than "OK". Nothing so bad that I'd never smoke it again, but nothing good enough that I'd ever actually buy again.
Joe, those two cigars you mentioned are THE only CAO I would buy. I did get a great deal on 20 MX2 robusto's from Corona, and considering they were aged a while--yellowed cello--would not buy more. Got them for $2.25 per with the DPG JJ nat for the same price. It was a bundle type deal, so I had to get 'em, if I wanted the JJ's. I tried to enable all, but nobody wanted them. Still was a good purchase for me. Everyone I give them too likes them.
