CAO La Traviata Radiante Cigar Review Video

kaelaria

This 6×52 sick offers an extremely oily, toothy rich dark chocolate wrapper with tight seams, minimal veins and a sweet chocolate and earth aroma. First light reveals a very oily medium bodied earthy flavor with a ton of rich smoke and a perfect draw. The first third develops to a mild-medium body or slightly sweet and nutty earth with a deep finish. 50 min in at the 1/2 way point flavors were very consistent, however the stick liked to tunnel and went out prompting a relight without further incident. The stick ended at 1:35 with slightly different but overall consistent flavors at the last third, moving to a slight caramel and nut combo, with the same great smoke draw and finish.

I really really dig these cigars. CAO really p!ssdd me off at the last event I went to but they still have good smokes. This one is really rich, think Carlos torano virtuoso, and that's real close to this thing. Interestingly enough torano and cao come from the same factory ...

Kind of a long story, do a search fo "B&M horror stories". Ozgener was pretty much a let down but I do enjoy a good deal of cao and torano.

I've had a few vitolas of this cigar and I find it to be enjoyable. Not sure what it is about the flavors, but I find this to be a really good change of pace stick. Not something I would buy by the box, but I usually grab one at the B&M when I can.
