CAO Black VR cigars speak of leather chairs, floor-to-ceiling bookshelves, mahogany paneling, and lush carpeting. When you light up one of these rich but subtle cigars, you are removed from the workaday world and are transported to an exclusive men’s club of an earlier time.
The quality of the well-aged Mexican and Nicaraguan long-fillers is set off perfectly by the unexpected Brazilian Maduro Arapiraca wrapper, making the Black VR one of the finest of CAO’s already respected cigars. It was the logical next step in the evolution of the respect CAO Black series launched in the 1990s.
Aficionados know CAO Cigars for its constant quest and success in developing surprising new blends. In the Black VR, the Tennessee-based cigar maker has outdone its earlier efforts. When first cut and lit, the Black VR shows its peppery side, soon replaced by that creamy taste that connoisseurs recognize at once. A hint of cocoa emerges to blend with the creamy earthy flavor as you progress through the cigar, shifting to a leather undercurrent as you near the end of the cigar. All the while, the Maduro wrapper contributes its familiar richness to enhance all the changing flavors as they appear.
The CAO Black VR’s quality construction contributes to its easy and comfortable draw and just-right ash. A relaxing experience has been marred by many a good cigar crumbling as it burns.
CAO is known for its unvarying high quality and the Black VR is an outstanding example of what you can expect if you’ve never smoked one before. Choose one of the solid larger ring sizes if you have the time to devote to smoking one in an evening. When time is short, the 44 ring Mural will still deliver a relaxing half hour to regroup and refresh yourself.
