CAO America Monument (6.2″ x 54)

January 22nd, 2008 by danieltyack

“Evening Smoke”The CAO America Monument is a fine smoke; it’s a little mellow but well-rounded and tasty. The construction was appealing with it’s classy pin stripe and minimal veins. The stick felt great and was just begging to be smoked.

The ash actually split in the affected area. Hopefully you can see the odd canyon that formed within the ash in the pictures. Despite the continual wrestling match with the burn the America was very tasty with an absolutely perfect drag. This CAO isn’t very robust but it smokes smooth with a sweetness lingering throughout. There was a mild spice that developed about halfway through. All in all its a good smoke with a little to be desired in the way of strength.CAO America Monument Initial Burn CAO America Monument Bad Ash CAO America Monument AshOVERALL RATING: 82 Appearance and Construction: 12Flavor: 21Smoking Characteristics: 19Overall Impression: 30
