I just got my shipment this week from cbid. In it, a box of CAO Black Gothic. At first glance, The box is pretty, but the paint smelled a bit fresh... This box is not going in my Ploomidoor just yet. Also, the box seemed a little unfinished, there were some divots in the top. Opened it up, the cigars were very nicely constructed, good looking. Took one out and put it to the proboscis. Not much of an aroma. Took it out on the back porch and let it. OMG! This is a DYNAMITE smoke! Not a powerhouse like many of my sticks. I'd call it medium body, very smooth, but with a nice spice on the finish. "I'm never going back..." :-)
