The CAO Criollo cigar is the result of years of had work for Nicaraguan tobacco growers to yield a richer, sweeter tobacco. In the beginning the tobacco was met with blue mold until one year the growers got it right. Since then the CAO Criollo was a mainstay of my rotation for many years. Recently I picked up a 5 pack to see if my love for the CAO Criollo was still present and this is the review that answers that question.
