CAO Flavors Cherrybomb (5.25×42) F

I'm a relative newcomer to cigars. I really enjoyed this stick. It wasn't overly sweet and the cherry notes were not overpowering. It had a clean burn for the price. The draw was a bit tight on the first third but smoothed out about half way through. The smoke had a very pleasant aroma and retro hale was quite enjoyable. Definite addition to the limited space in my humidor.

Four stars, strictly for the novelty of artificially favouring a cigar. Presentation: very neat and pretty good considering the price, you get top quality scotch tape on a sliver of cedar and its even dressed with a red fabric band around the foot. Construction: very nice, the wrapper was a bit dull in colour. It had a couple of hollow parts when squeezed to check for firmness, but that is s no deal breaker. The draw was just right, not tight not not too loose either. Smoke time lasted about 45 minutes. I purged this one several times throughout and it made little difference to the taste, which is a good sign. Right out of the cellophane, there was a waft of sugary sweetness. At light up it was smooth with nice smoke output. The cherry bomb stayed consistent the whole way, which was light with a sweet aroma and long cherry citrus finish, some notes of burnt toast on the finish also. Paired with a tall glass of milk, the CAO cherry bomb is a good choice when changing up the taste of cigars for something a little different, or to keep cigars interesting.
