CAO Cherry Bomb Petite Corona

[Tatsumi67]

I decided that after all the horrible flavored cigar stories I would make my first flavored cigar a high-end one and this came in the form of a CAO Cherrybomb Petite Corona.

The cigar itself tasted like a delicate cherry-cream stick, the smoke left a soft cherry-vanilla-blackberry aroma. The smoke volume was nice, steady. The construction was superb, it held it's ash well and the burn was almost laser-line. The tobacco seems to have been flavored using natural methods, these was nothing harsh or chemical about it, it was real flavor. It left an even, lovely cherry-cream-current-vanilla taste on the pallete front and back.

The cigar came wrapped in a red ribbon and a piece of cedar which was nice, in the end it was a great flavored smoke, with all the quality you'd expect from CAO

I'd like to try more of CAO's Flavour line.

Sounds nice. I got a 5er and they were ok. My favorite of the line is the Moontrance hands down. But my fave of flavors is the Tatiana  line in the classics. There are only 2   I keep in that line.

The blue has Black Amboise raspberries with vanilla, Acacia honey, & cognac extracts.

The waking dream has Vanilla Creme, Piedmont Hazelnuts and Single Malt Whiskey

I got the whole set sampler at one point.  can't remember what my favorite was though but I do remember them being not really all that exciting.  I don't recall there being a cherry bomb then?

But Glad you enjoyed it.

I started out with flavored cigars.  But when the fellas here got me going on better cigars I have had bad luck with the flavored stuff.  I vowed never to smoke another one again.

With that said I have never tried the CAO line of flavored cigars but never gave it a thought.  I might try one if I see any sitting around in a B&M shop.

Thanks for the review!
