Smoking a CAO America right now. It's mediocre to bad. Haven't decided yet.
To date the only CAO's I've tried that I've liked are the Mx2 and the Traviata. Admittedly I haven't tried many of them though.

I smoked a ton of different cigars on my boat yesterday, but I finished it off with a Nub Maduro. Yum.

Smoked a nub maduro and an Oliva O saturday night in the garage. I havent had either in a while and they were both damned good.
Padron 4000 sunday while bottling my pale ale. I'm stoked!

Smoked a Nub Maduro with my buddy Tim who smoked a Nub Habano. We were at the Jimmy Buffett concert with the ship we built with my roommate, his bro and our buddy George. It was a hit, even made it on to the big screen during one of Jimmy's songs.

Damn, I really liked the America!
I've certainly read mixed reviews, but it's in my top 5.

Maybe a different size would've been better...I can't remember which specific one it was that I smoked. I've just always felt really mixed about CAO cigars. I get some that I really enjoy, but the ones with the most hype usually turn out to be the worst lines (the Vision for example...what an awful cigar for such a crazy price).
That's why I have my humidor stocked with many Nubs and Cains...I know I'll always get a consistently awesome cigar when I reach for one of them!

To each their own, but I really like the Vision with a little rest

Might've been the issue...I think it only had 3-4 months on it from purchase.

I'm turning out to be a big CAO fan, and I still have around half their line to try!
For the record, I had a Potomac. One of those $19.98 deals on Cigar monster. Next time around I'll prolly buy 10 sticks, unless they have it going on now (looks)...nope. Had to breathe in a bag over the Italia deal though. Got a box on order as it is
Hard to beat a Nub in general, in my opinion. Every aspect of the smoke is pleasurable. Still, a man's gotta have his variety... and for me, CAO fits the bill.
The Vision I had was OK, but I need a big meal immediately prior to something that full. Picked up two off my buddy for $10 just to have 'em.
