I have been saving this smoke for 2 years and think its time for it to be smoked on the 4th this year. Any reviews or opinions on this one?

as long as you have been aging it with the cello off it should be very good. I noticed mine got much better after 8 months of naked cedar aging.

Nothing spectacular but a goodun for sure

I ashed one on Memorial Day and was expecting it to suck from all the reviews I had seen. I thought it was decent and much like Jamie said.

I wasn't impressed, but only had the Churchill I think it was, could be better in other vitolas. I'd rather smoke a Camacho Liberty, too bad I don't have any, the few of those in various years have been pretty tasty..

I only had one, looked great, a little funky on the construction and mediocre on the flavor but fits the occasion

I really like these. I will agree that they do get better unwrapped, and at least a month or 2 in the humi. I think the CAO Black is their best cigar.

I tried the uncle sam the other night and didn't think it was anything special. It was pretty bland up until the broadleaf part of the wrapper and even then it wasn't anything special. I don't think CAO is that great of a brand in general.
