Ab-glad they've been released! I've been waiting for them since I first read about their release at the RTDA. I find the Maduro's pretty full-bodied and had heard these were a step up from that. Haven't seen them anywhere, but I did e-mail the company who said they were starting to ship them. Have you smoked one yet? I'm looking everywhere for one! Great that you snagged one early.

I haven't been able to find them yet here in the Chicagoland area..Let us know how they are...I've heard great things about them being even better than the L'Aniversaire Maduro, a favorite of mine

my tobacconist received only one box of the torpedoes and a few boxes of the others, he only had two torpedoes left so I bought one for I believe $7.50, but these are beautiful looking sticks! I mean they look like a chocolate cigar! I suspect like most recent sun grown cigars they will be few and far between. I will probably smoke it this weekend. Though too bad if I really like it as I may be out of luck for awhile.

Purchased one several weeks ago. Am planning on smoking the robusto this weekend during the UT / Alabama football game. Will report back with my impression. Just hope it is as good as the hype.

Ooh that sounds like a tasty smoke!! Short of providing accolades on C.A.O with such nauseating detail* this label is phenomenal. ( *i.e.: kind of like the air play the 5 Vegas smokes receives. 5V is a decent/good cigar for the money good but give me a break, there must be a post on this stick every other day!!)

Wany hit the nail on the head. CAO is a phenomenal line. Especially the L'Anniversaire. I'm looking forward to trying the Extreme, even though my tastes usually run more toward the medium bodied sticks.
