I love most of the flathead cigars that I try from CAO. They really bring the flavor. The flavors on this one was ok. I got black coffee, leather, anise and charred oak. Where this cigar really fell short was in construction. The first 20 min I had really bad tunneling going on and I had to touch this up numerous times. I’m hoping this was a one off as I genuinely like what CAO does as I feel they are very innovative with their blends. If the construction issues weren’t so damaging this would easily have been 4 stars .
