To be fair to CAO - I will be reviewing the CAO Corona Gorda very soon. Its called the Animado. Originally, CAO released just three sizes - but the success of the line led to the release of a Corona Gorda and Belicoso in May.
I have yet to smoke either of these, but I saw a guy with the CG and damn it looked good. We all know the La Traviata is a great cigar. They are well-made, smoke great and taste amazing. The $5 price tag makes it all the better. I smoke a lot of the Robusto size because I think the cigar gets a little bitter in the longer sizes. But I think the smaller ring gauge of the CG is going to be amazing for the blend.
In general, most people like smoking big, fat cigars. I on the other hand, enjoy smaller ring gauges and/or smaller length. I didn't even know CAO made the corona gorda - 5 5/8" x 46 ring. Probably because most people review and jump up and down about the bigger cigars.
Also - when my local gets more in - I may do a Maduro vs. Natural review.
Thanks for sharing the information regarding corona gorda.Cigars are a great way to relax and unwind after a long day of work.
