CAO Italia Piazza

6" X 60

A short review of this stogie. It has potential, but it is too damn big. The draw suffered, the burn was uneven, and it burned hot and bitter because it was a bit tight (overpacked?) to boot. I felt like I had to smoke the hell out of it to get any smoke and thats really kinda not cool. That said it had some nice tangy notes up front and might be a nice cigar if it wasn't so much work. I would like to try the 4.5" X 54 Novella, or especially the Gondola Torpedo before passing final judgement on this one. so far, unfortunate.
