This 5×50 stick offers a light tan, paper thin wrapper that has some minor problems. The shoulder peeled off after cutting, a couple small cracks appeared above the band and there is a large patch below. The burn however was not compromised and it went just fine all the way down with a great draw slightly on the tight side. Smoke output was very good, producing ample volume with slow short puffs. Flavors in the first third were of a medium body creamy leather and an undertone of aged tobacco. The 2nd third shifted to a buttery toast and leather, with a bit of pepper flavor and zing that held on through the long finish. The last third transitioned to a medium-full smooth smoky leather with a bit of oil, that finished long and dry with a deep earthy aftertaste. Burn time to the nub was 55 minutes. http://cigarobsession.com/2010/02/16/cao-escaparate-ecuador-robusto-cigar-review/ 0

Is this a new CAO? I've never heard of it.
Also - what were your final impressions of the cigar? I know you don't like to put a point value to it, but I'm just curious as to your final thoughts.0 -
I actually enjoyed it - it had a very good amount of smoke, which I like, the draw and burn were great, and I like smooth rich flavors like that. It's exclusive to another retailer, see the main site for the link. (not being rude, just don't want to promote others on cigar.com)0
