This cigar reminds me of Christmas Cake. Rich, maturated liquor fruit and nuts with brown sugar sweetness all wrapped up in a delicious smooth smokey chocolate mouthful.
I've come to prefer Nicaraguan tobacco (padron as a favorite) so the flathead series was a natural one for me to try. The 660 has come to be a favorite for me. Easy draw, good flavor throughout. I love a box press and dark rich wrappers, so this is exactly in my wheelhouse. Great value at the current price. Lots of dark, rich flavor without being overbearing. The 660 is much better than the smaller flatheads for me. The 770 is also good, but that is a 2.5 hour smoke for me.
I rate this cigar at 91. Good burn and draw. Pepper chocolate sweetness. Medium body. Crack under band. Good value.
I rate at 91. Chocolate and black cherry are main flavors. Mild pepper on retrohale. Cracks under band.
Great pepper on the retro and amazing chocolate flavor notes throughout this cigar felt like i was eating chocolate while smoking this one absolutely amazing smoke.
This one is a powerhouse and delicious at the same time. It's the first cigar I've encountered where I would say don't smoke it on an empty stomach. I did, had to take a little snack break, but wow was I very happy with the journey through this one. I went the next day to my local shop and picked up a couple to reserve in my humidor.
Leather and molasses. Perfect draw with a punch cut. Held a nice ash. Even burn with tons of thick white smoke clouds.
Not every cigar can be a hit. I get that. The burn was atrocious and the draw was extremely tight. Even after running the draw tool through. Maybe I just got a dud because this cigar seems to get very good reviews. I was gonna rate it a 1 for the experience but I did like the flavors
Tonight Iโm smoking the Flathead v660 fatty from CAO. Iโm also kicking back outside gazing at the midnight smog here in good ole California valley. This cigar is definitely flat across itโs square fat head. It has a dark brown, gritty feeling wrapper with a big simple band and thin tight seams. I used my new punch to pop out an exhaust for it. This American muscle cig-car has been toasted and fired up. After hitting the throttle a few times Iโm going with medium body with some coffee, earth and leathery start up. Thereโs some pepper on the retro, and some buttery sweet cream foam. Thereโs a dry fruity flavor, with a hearty oak. Strong flavor profile. This cigar is just good, for a simple description. It produces this thick meaty smoke and Itโs burning sorta slow and wavy. Full flavor and the bodyโs picking up as I go. Shifting into second gear Iโm adding some molasses in the fuel and a dark cherry in the retro. The flavor profile is consistent with the fruitiness dropping off. It has a long finish and the ash is holding on well. I touched it up a couple times but the construction isnโt bad really. Very slight resistance in the intake and good output. Iโm picking up like an unsweetened chocolate hint. The oak has become an undertone. One hour and forty five minutes later, Iโm shifting into third gear. Itโs medium plus body and nicotine has come up. Black pepper retro hale. Itโs still a creamy thick smoke. It has gained more spice to it. Itโs woodsy but the sweetness is fading however not gone yet. I sat it down for a few minutes and almost has to preform an emergency relight because two inches of ash fell right on my bare leg and it burned like crazy. Thereโs coffee and spicy pepper left holding the bag. My smoke time was two hours and thirty minutes and Iโm scoring this about 92 points.
Wasnt a big fan of this cigar. The draw was almost impossible. I decided to quit it at the first third.
Just finished this stick paired either bourbon and watching hockey, what a great stick. Great construction. My girlfriend even took a puff and liked it. Definitely recommend.
Awesome smoke. Definitely a full body cigar with chocolate and expresso notes. Good burn and I love the draw. Very tasty. If you like a smoke with some power behind it... this stick is for you.
One of my favourites so far
I had been wanting to try this one for a while, and I got it in a CAO sampler, and had to light it up first. Everything about it is quality, from the look and feel, to the tight, seamless wrapper, and the ring wrapper is way cool. The flavor is strong all the way through, and the burn was fairly consistent, with maybe a touch up or two. I would suggest eating something hearty before smoking this stick. I will be putting into the regular rotation.
Perfect draw, medium into full-bodied, an excellent stick start to finish. Donโt forget to eat before enjoying this dessert itโs perfc for after a delicious meal. Pairs well with scotch. This cigar is definitely worth having a box at all times. Cocoa, hints of leather and coffee.
They fixed my order ! Awesome!
I just chatted with my shipping team about this, and we'll be sending you your Flathead 660 at no extra charge!
I ordered one of these cigars along with 3 Rico Barato's and a box pressed rebellion. But they gave me a cao consigliere soilder instead of the FlatHead.
This was CA #3 in 2015, and they aren't lying. I love it. Not spicy at all. Very chocolaty and amazing construction. This is the only full body cigar I carry. I have boxes of these and some light bodied ones. All you need.
As I have said before, this is one of my all-time favorite go to Sticks! It is very consistent the whole way through. I would say it's definitely medium full and strength but has a lot of character. If you want to relive your youth... We all do, fire this bad boy up, grab a beer, put on Van Halen 1 and Crank It Up! Bada Boom Bada Bing, you're 18 Again! I would rate this stick at a 93
I'm fairly new to cigars so I'm not very educated on cigars but this is definitely one of the best cigars I have ever had. I would recommend this to anyone it has a fuller flavor with the dark wrapper but very little pepper so it isn't rough for a beginner. I couldn't just forget to mention the price when I bought these because it is a complete steal!
