Aren't those the same thing?

Well, one's an aroma and one's a flavor . . . I'd never had a cigar smell like a cigarette before, or since, so that seemed an unusual enough occurence to rate a special mention.

I've found the Criollos to be pretty decent cigars.  Not very complex, but have plenty of good earthy, spicy flavor.  Maybe yours was under-humidified?

 

I agree, Bela.

Rob, you gotta be kidding man. These are great cigars! What the hell did you and Mark do to your particular CAO Criollos? What gives, dudes?

Jeez, ever Criollo that I've ever smoked was delish. Exactly how BelaBartok described it above. Now you're gonna make me go find one in the humi. Dammit! You fellers have me totally flustered and mystified over here!

I got a box of the Patos around a year and a half ago.  They're almost all gone now.  I think I saw a few floating around in the double super-secret auxiliary overflow humidor.
